Messaging; Text Messages (Sms) - Nokia 8800 Sirocco User Manual

6. Messaging

The message services can only be used if they are supported
by your network or your service provider.
Note: When sending messages, your device may display the words
Sending message. This is an indication that the message has been sent
by your device to the message center number programmed into your
device. This is not an indication that the message has been received at
the intended destination. For more details about messaging services,
check with your service provider.
Important: Exercise caution opening messages. Messages may contain
malicious software or otherwise be harmful to your device or PC.
Only devices that have compatible features can receive and display messages.
The appearance of a message may vary depending on the receiving device.

■ Text messages (SMS)

Using the short message service (SMS) you can send and receive
multipart messages (network service) that can contain pictures.
Before you can send any text, picture, or e-mail message, you must save
your message centre number. See "Message settings," p. 45.
To check SMS e-mail service availability and to subscribe to the service,
contact your service provider. To save an e-mail address in Contacts, see
"Save numbers, items, or an image," p. 49.
Your device supports the sending of text messages beyond the character limit for
a single message. Longer messages will be sent as a series of two or more
messages. Your service provider may charge accordingly. Characters that use
accents or other marks, and characters from some language options like Chinese,
take up more space, limiting the number of characters that can be sent in a single
message.
An indicator at the top of the display shows the total number of characters left
and the number of messages needed for sending. For example, 673/2 means that
there are 673 characters left and that the message will be sent as a series of two
messages.
