Inserting Messaging Emoticons

This feature allows you to insert emoticons into a text message. The emoticons are selected from a predefined list.

Note: Icon Messaging must be turned on in the Message Settings in order to use this feature, see page 75 for more information.

Emoticons can be inserted into a message in 2 ways:

•Type a space, type the 3 ASCII characters that represent the icon, then type another space (see the Messaging Emoticons table on page 43). For example, type :-) for a smiley face.

•Or, while in the Message Editor:

1.Press ™ and select Insert Picture.

2.Two rows of icons are shown on the screen. Use ! to scroll to additional rows to see more icons.

3.Select the icon and press (. The icon is shown as its ASCII representation. The Message Editor automatically inserts a space before and after the icon.

Because icons must be preceded and followed by a space, each icon counts as 5 characters toward the 160-character message limit (3 characters and 2 space characters).
