Text messages

Use the short message service (SMS) to send and receive multipart messages made of several
ordinary text messages (network service) that can contain pictures.
Before you can send any text, picture, or e-mail message, you must save your message
center number. See "Message settings," p. 28.
To check SMS e-mail service availability and to subscribe to the service, contact your
service provider.
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.
Write and send a message
1. Select Menu > Messaging > Create message > Text message.
2. Enter a message. See "Write text," p. 17. At the top of the display, the message length
indicator tracks the number of available characters. For example, 10/2 means that you can
still add 10 characters for the text to be sent as two messages. To insert text templates
or a picture into the message, see "Templates," p. 20. Each picture message comprises
several text messages. Sending one picture or multipart message may cost more than
sending one text message.
3. To send the message, select Send > Recently used, To phone number, To many, or To e-mail
address. To send a message using a predefined message profile, select Via sending profile.
For the message profile, see "Text and SMS e-mail," p. 28. Select or enter a phone number
or e-mail address, or select a profile.
Read and reply to a message
is displayed when you received an SMS message or an SMS e-mail. The blinking
indicates that the message memory is full. Before you can receive new messages,
delete some of your old messages in the Inbox folder.
1. To view a new message, select Show. To view it later, select Exit.
To read the message later, select Menu > Messaging > Inbox. If more than one message
is received, select the message that you want to read.
2. While reading a message, select Options and delete or forward the message; edit the
message as a text message or an SMS e-mail; rename the message you are reading or
move it to another folder; or view or extract message details. You can also copy text
from the beginning of the message to your phone calendar as a reminder note. To save
the picture in the Templates folder when reading a picture message, select Save picture.
