Sending a text message and the outgoing message list

Notes on writing and sending an SMS message
If you are interrupted as you are writing (by a call, an incoming SMS or because the
handset changes to idle status because of prolonged inactivity), the SMS is automati-
cally stored in the outgoing message list. You can continue writing the SMS later
(page 60).
Text messages that cannot be sent are assigned an error status (page 70) and are placed
in the incoming message list.
Text messages are only stored automatically if sending is interrupted. If you wish to
store a message then you must do so before it is sent.
Remember that some service providers will bill you for a cancelled call
i
to the SMS centre.
Writingtext messages
A single text message can be up to 160 characters long. If your text is longer, it will be
sent automatically as a linked message. Up to four messages with 153 characters each
can be linked. This means you can enter up to 612 characters. Bear in mind that linked
messages incur correspondingly higher charges.
Remember that the service provider cannot deliver a text message that contains Greek
or Cyrillic characters. Therefore you must select another input language.
When you have opened the input field for the text message, then press the display
key ©. From the menu, select Select Language and then press
choice. Then select an input language and confirm the selection with [. Press the end
call key a twice briefly, to return to the input field. The setting of the input language
only applies to the current text message.
