Messaging

Your phone supports various messaging
services – text messages, chat messages,
picture messages and e-mail. Please contact
your service provider for details on which
services you can use.
Text messages
Text messages are sent via SMS (Short Message
Service). They can be sent to one person or to a number
of recipients, for example, that you may have saved in
the phonebook. A text message can contain up to 160
latin characters or 70 Chinese characters.
You can add pictures, animations, melodies, and
sound effects to a text message, and format the text
using EMS (Enhanced Messaging Service).
Note: Text messages with EMS functionality can
only be sent to other compatible phones supporting
the EMS standard.
