Messaging
With messaging, you can send and receive messages
between your phone and another messaging-ready
phone. When you receive a new message, it will
automatically display on your phone’s screen.
In addition, messaging includes a variety of preset
messages, such as “The meeting has been cancelled,”
that make composing messages fast and easy. Use
your phone to customize your own preset messages
(up to 50 characters).
There are two types of messaging, Text Messaging
(SMS) and Multimedia Messaging (MMS).
Text messages can be composed of up to six segments
of 160 characters each, for a total of 960 characters per
text message. The current segment and total segment
count is displayed at the top of each segment. For
example, (5/6) at the top of a segment would indicate
you are viewing segment five of a six-segment message.
Multimedia messages consist of both text and
multimedia files, such as pictures or voice recordings.
Outgoing multimedia messages can be up to 600 KB
with up to 1000 text characters.
Tip: When you call into voicemail, you first hear the header
information (date, time, and sender information) for the
message. To skip directly to the message, press
during the header.
