SMS and MMS messaging

You can manage your messages, conversations, notifications, and contacts right from the
Messenger home screen. You can also change your sound, notification, and other settings.
About text and multimedia messages
SMS messages are also known as ―text‖ messages and can each be around 160 characters. If
you continue to type after the limit is reached, your message will be delivered as one, but count
as more than one message. These are called ―concatenated‖ messages.
MMS messages are also known as ―multimedia‖ or ―picture‖ messages and can contain text,
picture, audio, and video files.
When you compose a message, the Slide will automatically convert a text message into a
multimedia message as soon as you add a subject or an attachment, or if you address the
message using an email address rather than a phone number.
View the message from the message list
Select a message thread in the list to open it for reading. When open, the individual messages
appear stacked on the screen, much like with instant messaging conversations (or chats).
Note that messages you send are also listed in the Read view.
1. Reading multimedia messages
If you have selected to auto-retrieve your multimedia messages, then both the message header
and body will download.
If you are downloading only the headers, then you must first select the Download button to
retrieve the message body. If you are concerned about the size of your data downloads, you can
check the message size before you download.
Once the message has downloaded, select ―Play‖ button to view the message.
From a message read view, you can do the following:
1. To view details about a particular message, in the Read view, touch & hold the message to
open the context menu. Select View details.
