If you make contact groups containing, for example, family or colleagues, you can send a message
to a group.
In the messaging settings, you can set your phone to back up your messages to SkyDrive. If you
change to a new Windows Phone device, you can get your messages to your new phone during the
setup.
You can send text messages that are longer than the character limit for a single message. Longer
messages are sent as two or more messages. Your service provider may charge accordingly.
Characters with accents, other marks, or some language options, take more space, and limit the
number of characters that can be sent in a single message.
Using services or downloading content may cause transfer of large amounts of data, which may result
