If the next letter you want is located on the same key as the present one, wait
until the cursor appears.
The most common punctuation marks and special characters are available under
the 1 key. For more characters, press *.
5. Messaging
You can read, write, send, and save text, multimedia, e-mail,
audio, and flash messages. All messages are organized into folders.
■ Text messages
With the short message service (SMS) you can send and receive text messages,
and receive messages that can contain pictures (network service).
Before you can send any text or SMS e-mail messages, you must save your
message center number. See Message settings p. 35.
To check SMS e-mail service availability and to subscribe to the service, contact
your service provider. To save an e-mail address in Contacts, see Search for a
contact p. 38.
Your device supports the sending of text messages beyond the character limit for
a single message. Longer messages are 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 Spanish, take up
more space limiting the number of characters that can be sent in a single
message.
An indicator at the top of the display shows the total number of characters left
and the number of messages needed for sending. For example, 673/2 means that
there are 673 characters left and that the message is sent as a series of two
messages.
