■ Text message
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 message, you must save
your message center number. See “Message settings,” p. 38.
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
“Save details,” p. 41.
Your device supports the sending of text messages beyond the character limit for
a single message. Longer messages will be 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 Chinese,
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 will be sent as a series of 2 messages.
