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 and multimedia messages

You can create a message and optionally attach, for
example, a picture. Your phone automatically changes
a text message to a multimedia message when a file is
attached.

Text messages

Your device supports text messages beyond the limit
for a single message. Longer messages are sent as two
or more messages. Your service provider may charge
accordingly. Characters with accents or other marks,
and characters from some language options, take up
more space, and limit 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 messages, you must save your
message centre number. Select Menu > Messaging >
Message settings > Text messages > Message
centres > Add centre, enter a name, and the number
from the service provider.

Multimedia messages

A multimedia message can contain text, pictures, and
sound or video clips.
Only devices that have compatible features can receive
and display multimedia messages. The appearance of
a message may vary depending on the receiving device.
The wireless network may limit the size of MMS
messages. If the inserted picture exceeds this limit the
device may make it smaller so that it can be sent by
MMS.
Important: Exercise caution when opening
messages. Messages may contain malicious software
or otherwise be harmful to your device or PC.
For availability and subscription to the multimedia
messaging service (MMS), contact your service
provider. You may also download the configuration
settings. See "Nokia support", p. 9.
