allow you to send and receive messages of many types, where
supported by your service provider.

upon them for essential communications.

containing only text, of up to 160 characters. This is the most
common form of messaging, is compatible with the widest range of
phones and is available in most countries.
Flash messages
Flash messages are text messages that are instantly displayed upon
receipt. Flash messages are not automatically saved.
Multimedia messages
Multimedia messages allow pictures, videos and audio files to be
sent in addition to text in the body of the message. MMS is
supported by most modern phones however the recipient must
have a correctly configured phone to be able to receive the
message.
Audio messages
You can use the Multimedia message service to create and send an
audio message. Multimedia messaging service must be activated
before you can use audio messages.

E-mail messages can be sent to and received from other devices,
for example PCs. E-mail messages can be received by some mobile

short, simple text messages to online users. You have to subscribe
