Sending text and multimedia messages

Send short text messages (SMS) and multimedia messages (MMS) to other mobile phones. If you exceed the limit on the number of characters for a single text message, your text message will be delivered as one but will be billed as more than one message. These are called concatenated messages.

Multimedia messages can contain text and a picture, a recorded voice, an audio or video file, a picture slideshow, contact card (vCard), or appointment (vCalendar).

The Messages application automatically converts a text message into a multimedia message when you enter an email address in the To field, add a message subject, attach an item, or compose a very long message.

Sending a text message

1.Press HOME  , and then tap > Messages.

2.On the All messages screen, tap New message. The Compose screen opens.

3.Fill in one or more recipients. You can:

Enter phone numbers directly in the To field. If you’re sending the message to several phone numbers, separate the phone numbers with a comma. 

As you enter information, any matching phone numbers from your contacts list are displayed. Tap a match to enter that number or address directly.

 Tap the icon, and then select the phone numbers of the contacts to whom you want to send the message. You can also select contact groups as recipients.  

When you have selected all the message recipients, tap Done.
