To create and send a text message
1. On the Messaging screen, touch New message. The Compose screen opens.
2. Open the keyboard, then enter the mobile phone number of the message
recipient in the To field. As you enter the phone number, matching contacts
will appear on the screen. Touch a recipient or continue entering the
recipient's phone number.
Note
The message is automatically converted into an MMS message when you
entered an e-mail address in the To field. See "To create and send a multimedia
(MMS) message" in this chapter for details.
3.
Roll the TRACKBALL down to select the text box, then start composing your
message.
Note As you near the 160-character limit, a counter will appear in the top right corner
of the text box to tell you how much characters are left. Once you go over that
limit, a new message is created but automatically joined into one when received.
4. When done, touch Send or press
progress is displayed at the right side of the message in the message thread
or in the message list.
