Creating a text message for sending
to an email address
Your phone can also send text messages to email
addresses. Instead of displaying your name to the
recipient the message will display your details in the
following format:
From: your phone number message.inmarsat.com
eg. From: 8707764XXXXX message.inmarsat.com
The character limit for a text sent from your phone to an
email address is approximately 1600 Latin characters
or 740 non-Latin characters, ie up to 10 concatenations,
including the recipient's email address.
Select Menu > Messaging > New message > Email
message. Compose your message. Recipients can be
added from stored contacts by selecting Options > Add
recipient. Only entries containing an email address will be
displayed.
To send your message to an email address which is not
stored, use the up navigation key to move the cursor into
the To: field and type the address. For symbols such as the
@ sign, press the * key and then use the navigation keys
to select from the menu. After entering the address, wait
for 5 seconds and the phone will place a ; after the entry,
allowing you to enter another address. When you move
the cursor away from the To: field or open Options, your
phone will check the email addresses entered. If addresses
do not follow the format of a valid email address, they will
be deleted and an error message displayed.
Receiving text and email messages
Messages can be received when the antenna is deployed
and your phone is connected to the network, even if you
are on a call, or when incoming calls are forwarded to
another phone number.
If your phone is switched off when a message is received,
the message is stored by the network until your phone
is switched on and registered with the network. Delivery
will be attempted for the duration that your message
