Text Messaging and Multimedia Messaging
With messaging, you can send and receive messages between your phone and another
messaging-ready phone. When you receive a new message, it will automatically display on your
phone's screen.
In addition, messaging includes a variety of preset messages, such as ―The meeting has been
cancelled,‖ that make composing messages fast and easy. Use your phone to customize your
own preset messages (up to 50 characters).
There are two types of messaging, text messaging (SMS) and multimedia messaging (MMS).
Text messages can be composed of up to six segments of 160 (140 in Spanish) characters
each, for a total of 960 (840 in Spanish) characters per text message. The current segment and
total segment count is displayed at the top of each segment. For example, (5/6) at the top of a
segment would indicate you are viewing segment five of a six-segment message.
Multimedia messages consist of both text and multimedia files, such as pictures, videos, or
voice recordings. Outgoing multimedia messages can be up to 1 MB with up to 1000 text
characters.
