Messaging, Message Box, Sending a Message

Messaging

Your SMS (text message) and MMS (multimedia messaging service) are combined into one menu in Messages.

Message Box

Instead of an inbox and outbox, your phone organizes all messages you sent and received into one box, where messages exchanged with the same number are grouped into one message thread in the messages screen. You can tap a thread to see the conversation you have had with someone.

Message threads are sorted in chronological order with the latest one on top.

Sending a Message

1.Press the Home Key > Messages.

2.Tap New message.

3.Enter the recipient’s number or name. As you type, matching contacts will appear. Tap a suggested contact to add as a recipient.

4.Tap Type to compose and type your message.

•Press the Menu Key to insert Quick Text, signature, smiley, or contact.

•If you are sending an MMS, press the Menu Key to add a subject, or attach pictures, videos, audio, or slideshows.

NOTE: Add an attachment to text message and it will be converted into an MMS automatically. Likewise if you remove all attachments and the subject from an MMS, it’ll automatically become a text message.
