Handling text messages

A text message is sent via SMS (Short Message Service). It can
contain up to 160 characters (70 characters if you use non latin
characters). If you create a longer message it will be sent as two
(or more) separate messages (concatenated), but received (if the
receiving mobile phone supports this) as one message. If you
add pictures, animations, melodies and sounds to your message
it becomes an EMS (Enhanced Message Service) message.
Text messages can be sent to one or more person.
If you leave the message before sending it, it will automatically
be stored in the folder (unless you edit a message which
Draft
already was located in Outbox).
