■ Text messages (SMS)
Using the short message service (SMS) you can 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. 30.
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.
At the top of the display, you can see the message length indicator that
tracks the number of characters available. For example, 10/2 means that
you can still add 10 characters for the text to be sent as two messages.
