7. Messaging

Go to Menu→Messaging.
In Messaging you can create, send, receive, view, edit, and organise text
messages, multimedia messages, e-mail messages, presentations,
documents, smart messages, and special text messages containing data.
You can also receive messages and data via an infrared or Bluetooth
technology connection, receive service messages, cell broadcast
messages, and send service commands.
Note that only devices that offer picture message features can receive
and display picture messages.
Text messages and multimedia messages use shared memory. See
"Shared memory" on page 9.
Your device supports the sending of text messages beyond the normal 160-
character limit. If your message exceeds 160 characters, it will be sent as a series
of two or more messages. Note that each message will be invoiced separately
according to your service provider's rates.
In the navigation bar, you can see the message length indicator counting
backwards from 160. For example, 10 (2) means that you can still add 10
characters for the text to be sent as two messages.
Note that using special (Unicode) characters such as ë, â, á, ì take 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 device 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.
Options in the Messaging main view are: Create message,
Connect (shown if you have defined settings for the mailbox), or
Disconnect (shown if there is an active connection to the mailbox), SIM
messages, Cell broadcast, Service command, Settings, Help, and Exit.
When you open Messaging, you can see the New message function and
a list of default folders:
Inbox - Contains received messages except e-mail and cell
broadcast messages. E-mail messages are stored in the Mailbox. You
can read cell broadcast messages by selecting Options→Cell broadcast.
