Messaging
This chapter shows you how to set up and use the messaging functions of your
smartphone.
All SMS and MMS messages are accessed via Messaging. Messaging
automatically arranges received and sent messages into conversations by contact
name or phone number.
To access Messaging tap the Messaging tile on the Start screen.
Creating a new message
You can use your phone to compose SMS and MMS
messages.
Tap
to compose a new message.
Enter one or more recipients. Use a semicolon to separate
recipients:
• Enter the phone number directly.
• Enter a contact's name. As you enter letters, your
phone will suggest contacts.
• Tap
on the right of the recipient field to open your
contact list and tap a contact to send the message to.
Once you have entered the recipient, enter your message
in the text box labeled type a message.
Tap

message to an MMS message.
• Tap the camera icon to open the camera and take a photo.
Tap

Note: SMS messages may be up to 160 characters long. If your message is longer than
160 characters, it will be sent as multiple linked messages. Most phones will automatically
join the linked messages to present the recipient with a single long message, however,
some older phones do not have this ability.
