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 messages

Your device supports the sending of text messages beyond the character limit for a

single message. Longer messages are sent as a series of two or more messages. Your

service provider may charge accordingly. Characters that use accents or other marks,

and characters from some language options, take up more space, limiting 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

center number. Select Menu > Messaging > Message settings > Text

messages > Message centres > Add centre, enter a name, and the number from

the service provider.

Multimedia messages and multimedia plus messages

A multimedia message can contain text, pictures, sound clips, and video clips. A

multimedia plus message can contain also any other content, even files not supported

by your phone.

Only devices that have compatible features can receive and display multimedia

messages. The appearance of a message may vary depending on the receiving device.

To check availability and to subscribe to the multimedia messaging service (MMS),

contact your service provider. You also may download the configuration settings. See

"Nokia support," p. 9.
