Write messages
Your Nokia 1100 and Nokia 1108 phones lets you send text messages
beyond the normal 160-character limit (check with your service provider to make sure their
system can handle long messages). If your message exceeds 160 characters, it will be sent as
a series of two to four messages. As you write the message, look in the upper right part of the
screen. You can see the message length indicator counting backwards from 459. For example,
420/1means that you have used 39 characters and the message will be sent in one part. But
298/2 means that you have used 161 characters, so the message will be divided and sent
in two parts.
Using special (Unicode) characters, such as ë, â, á, ì, takes up more space. If there are special
characters in your message, the indicator may not show the message length correctly.
Before the message is sent, the phone tells you if the message exceeds the maximum length
allowed for one message. You can cancel sending by pressing Cancel or you can save the
message in the inbox.
To send a message, the phone number of your message center has to be saved in the phone.
See "Message settings" on page 22.
1 In the standby mode, select Menu > Messages > Create message.
2 Key in the message. The number of available characters and the current part number
are shown on the top right of the display.
3 When the message is complete, select Options > Send, key in the recipient's phone
number, and press OK.
If you want to send the message to several people, select Sending options and
Send to many, scroll to the first recipient, and press Send. Repeat this for each recipient.
To send a message to a predefined distribution list, select Sending options and Send
to list. To define and edit distribution lists, see "Distribution lists" on page 21.
Other options are Insert options, Use template, Small fonts, Save message, Clear
text, Predictive text, Instructions, and Exit editor.
Note: When sending messages using the SMS network service, your phone may
display the words Message sent. This is an indication that the message has been
sent by your phone to the message center number programmed into your phone. This
is not an indication that the message has been received at the intended destination.
For more details about SMS services, check with your service provider.
