If you cannot send messages

You may not be able to send or receive messages if your phone‘s memory is nearly full, or if digital service is not available at the time. To free up memory, erase old messages. See „Erasing messages“ on page 41.

Understanding appended messages

If you go over the character limit for a single message, the phone may auto- matically append a nempty segment to your message to make space.

Important: You will be charged for each message segment.

When you start a message, the maximum character limit („154“ in the example) appears above the text entry screen. This number counts down as you enter characters, until it reaches 0. If you continue to enter text after this counter reaches 0, a message segment may be appended. If a segment is appended, a message will appear on the phone screen.
