Exchanging Messages

You can send text (SMS) messages of up to 160 characters to another mobile phone. If you keep typing after the limit, your message is delivered as a series of messages.

Multimedia (MMS) messages can contain text and a picture, a recorded voice, an audio file, a video, or a picture slideshow.

The Messaging application automatically converts a message into a multimedia message if you send it to an email address instead of a phone number, add a subject, or attach a media file.

To send a text message

1 On the Messaging screen, touch New message.

2 Enter a mobile phone number in the To field.

As you enter the mobile phone number, matching contacts appear. You can touch a suggested recipient or continue entering the phone number.

3 Touch the text field to start entering your message.

Enter a mobile phone number or the name of a contact with a mobile number.

Touch the Send button to send your message.

As you near the 160-character limit, a counter appears in the top right corner of the text field to tell you how many characters are left.

If you touch the Back Key while composing a message, it’s saved as a draft in your Messaging menu. Touch the message to resume composing it.
