3 MESSAGES
Your Vertu phone provides extensive messaging functionality to
allow you to send and receive messages of many types, where
supported by your service provider.
Because delivery of messages can fail, you should not rely
upon them for essential communications.
Text messages
Text messages (also known as SMS) are basic messages
containing only text, of up to 160 characters. Your Vertu phone
supports the sending of text messages beyond the limit for a single
message. Longer messages are sent as two or more messages.
Your service provider may charge accordingly. This is the most
common form of messaging, is compatible with the widest range of
phones and is available in most countries.
Multimedia messages
Multimedia messages allow pictures, videos and audio files to be
sent in addition to text in the body of the message. MMS is
supported by most modern phones however the recipient must
have a correctly configured phone to be able to receive the
message.
Flash Messages
Flash messages are text messages that are instantly displayed upon
receipt. Flash messages are not automatically saved.
Audio messages
You can use the Multimedia message service to create and send an
audio message. Multimedia messaging service must be activated
before you can use audio messages.
E-mail messages
E-mail messages can be sent to and received from other devices,
for example PCs. E-mail messages can be received by some mobile
phones, provided the recipient has a correctly configured phone.
WV chat
With Wireless Village chat messaging (WV chat) you can send
short, simple text messages to online users. You have to subscribe
to a service and register with the IM service you want to use. You
should check the availability of these services, pricing, and
instructions with your service provider.
Voice messages
Voice messages are stored by your network operator. If your
network operator provides a voice message service, people calling
you may have the option to record a message for you if your Vertu
phone is turned off, or if you do not answer your phone.
