You can read, write, send, and save text, multimedia, and e-mail
messages. All messages are organized in folders.
Before you can send any text, picture or text (SMS) e-mail messages, you need to save your
message centre number, see
“Message settings” on page 45. The default setting of the
multimedia message service is generally on.
Note: When sending messages using the SMS network service, your phone may
display “Message sent”. This is an indication that the message has been sent by
your phone to the message centre number programmed into your phone. This is
not an indication that the message has been received at the intended destination.
For more details about SMS services, check with your service provider.
The appearance of a multimedia message may vary depending on the receiving device.
• TEXT MESSAGES (SMS)
You can use SMS (Short Message Service) to send and receive multi-part messages that
consist of several ordinary text messages. Invoicing is typically based on the number of
ordinary messages that are required for a multi-part message. This feature requires network
services. See your service provider for more information.
Your phone allows you to send text messages beyond the normal 160-character limit. If your
message exceeds 160 characters, it is sent as a series of two or more messages. In the
navigation bar, you can see the message length indicator counting backwards from 160. For
example, 10 (2) means that you can still add 10 characters for the text to be sent as two
messages.
Using special (Unicode) characters, such as ë, â, á, ì, takes up more space. If there are special
characters in your message, the indicator may not show the message length correctly.
Before the message is sent, the device tells you if the message exceeds the maximum length
allowed for one message. You can cancel sending by pressing Cancel or you can save the
message in the inbox
You can also send and receive text messages that contain pictures. This feature must be
supported by your network services or service provider. Only phones that offer picture
message features can receive and display picture message.
The text messages function uses shared memory. For more information, see “Shared
memory” on page 7.
