Warning! Do not switch on the phone when wireless phone use is prohibited or when it may cause interference or danger.

You can use the Messages menu (Menu 1) and short message service (SMS) to read, write, and send text messages to another phone in your network. You may also be able to use the minibrowser e-mail feature to send text messages to phones in other networks.

Important: When sending SMS messages, your phone may display Message Sent (where service is available). This is an indication that the message has been sent by your phone to the SMS network. This is not an indication that the message has been received at the intended destination. For more details about SMS services, check with your service provider.

Note: This function can be used only if it is supported by your network operator or service provider. Only devices that offer compatible e-mail features can receive and display messages. It may require a separate subscription.

•WRITE A MESSAGE

You can use the Messages menu to create and send text messages to another mobile phone in your network, to another mobile phone in another network, or to an e-mail recipient. You can also save a draft of your message in the Outbox folder for later use.

Create and send a message

Important: Use this method when sending a message to recipients in the same wireless network. If the recipient has a different service provider, you may need to send the message as an e-mail (see “Create and send” on page 33).

Tip: Since the network limits the number of characters in a message, a character counter appears in the upper right-hand corner of your phone display. This phone supports 160 character SMS messages.
