About text and multimedia messages
SMS messages are also known as “text” messages and can each be around 160 characters. If you
continue to type after the limit is reached, your message will be delivered as one, but count as
more than one message. These are called “concatenated” messages.
MMS messages are also known as “multimedia” or “picture” messages and can contain text,
picture, audio, and video files.
When you compose a message, the phone will automatically convert a text message into a
multimedia message as soon as you add a subject or an attachment, or if you address the message
using an email address rather than a phone number.
View the message from the message list
Select a message thread in the list to open it for reading. When open, the individual messages
appear stacked on the screen, much like with instant messaging conversations (or chats).
Note that messages you send are also listed in the Read view.
1. Reading multimedia messages
If you have selected to auto-retrieve your multimedia messages, then both the message header and
body will download.
If you are downloading only the headers, then you must first select the Download button to
retrieve the message body. If you are concerned about the size of your data downloads, you can
check the message size before you download.
Once the message has downloaded, select “Play” button to view the message.
From a message read view, you can do the following:
1. To view details about a particular message, in the Read view, touch & hold the message to open
the context menu. Select View details.
2. Reply to a message: Simply start typing your message to reply to a message. You can always
press MENU and select to add a subject or an attachment to convert it to a multimedia message.
Select ‘Send’ icon when ready.
3. Links in messages: If a message contains a link to a Web page, it will be selectable. To view the
Web page in the Browser, simply select it.
4. Delete messages: Your messages will be saved until you explicitly delete them.
Delete one message in a thread - With the message thread open in Read view, touch & hold the
individual message you want to delete to open the context menu. Delete all messages in a thread -
With the message thread open in Read view, press MENU > Delete. You can also delete an entire
thread from the message list by pressing & holding the thread to open the context menu, then
select ‘Delete’.
Delete all message threads - From the message list, press MENU and select Delete all threads.
