• MESSAGES (MENU 0-1)

Write messages
Your Nokia 1100 phone 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 Nokia 1100 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 20.
1 In the standby mode, press 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, press 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 19.
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.
