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 page25.
Understanding appended messages
If you go over the character limit for a single
message, the phone may automatically append an
empty segment to your message to make space.
Important: Your service provider will charge you
for each message segment.
When you start a message, the maximum character
limit (“200” in the example) appears above the text
entry screen. This number counts down as you enter
characters, until it reaches0. 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.
