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.
During the registration process of your phone, your Vertu.Me e-mail
account is set up. Refer to "Setting up your Vertu.Me e-mail account"
on page 6.
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.
