Messaging
Using text and multimedia messaging
You can send and receive text messages from your device using SMS (Short Message
Service). If your subscription includes MMS (Multimedia Messaging Service), you can also
send and receive messages that contain media files, for example, pictures and videos.
The number of characters that you can send in a single text message varies depending
on the operator and the language you use. If you exceed the character limit, then all your
single messages are linked together and sent as one message. You are charged for
each single text message that you send.
If you are using a device with multiple users, you must log in as the owner, that is, the primary
user, to send and receive messages.
To send multimedia messages, you need the correct MMS settings on your device. See
