If you have subscribed to a message network service, you can send and receive
messages to compatible phones also subscribed to a message service. You can
also send and receive picture, multimedia, and e-mail messages if supported by
your service provider. Also, you can make distribution lists that contain phone
numbers and names from your contacts list. See "Text entry," p. 23.
When composing text, picture, or multimedia messages, check the number of
characters allowed in the top right corner of the message. Using Unicode
characters takes up more space. With Unicode characters in your message, the
indicator may not show the message length correctly. Before sending the
message, the phone tells you if the message exceeds the maximum length
allowed for one message.
Important: Exercise caution opening messages. Messages may contain
malicious software or otherwise be harmful to your device or PC.
Note: When you send a message, your device may display Message sent,
indicating your device has sent the message to the message center
number programmed into your device. This is not an indication that the
message has been received at the intended destination. For more details
about messaging services, check with your service provider.
