6. Messaging

You can read, write, send and save text and multimedia
messages, e-mail, audio and flash messages. The messaging
services can only be used if they are supported by your
network or service provider.

Text and multimedia messages

You can create a message and optionally attach, for example,
a picture. Your phone automatically changes a text message
to a multimedia message when a file is attached.

Text messages

Your device supports text messages beyond the limit for a
single message. Longer messages are sent as two or more
messages. Your service provider may charge accordingly.
Characters with accents or other marks, and characters from
some language options, take up more space, and limit the
number of characters that can be sent in a single message.
An indicator at the top of the display shows the total number
of characters left and the number of messages needed for
sending.
Before you can send any text or SMS e-mail messages, you
must save your message centre number. Select Menu >
Messaging > Message settings > Text messages >
Message centres > Add centre, enter a name, and the
number from the service provider.

Multimedia messages

A multimedia message can contain text, pictures, sound clips,
and video clips.
Only devices that have compatible features can receive and
display multimedia messages. The appearance of a message
may vary depending on the receiving device.
The wireless network may limit the size of MMS messages. If
the inserted picture exceeds this limit the device may make
it smaller so that it can be sent by MMS.
Important: Exercise caution when opening messages.
Messages may contain malicious software or otherwise be
harmful to your device or PC.
To check the availability of, and to subscribe to the
multimedia messaging service (MMS), contact your service
provider. You may also download the configuration settings.
