Messages

Understand messaging

Message recipients: The phone to which you send a message must support messages. The recipient may not receive the SMS message you send if the recipient’s account is with a different service provider or of a different protocol.

Message length: The maximum length of a sent or received message is 160 characters. Your phone has space for several messages, depending on the length of each message. The maximum length of a message also may depend on the capabilities of the network from which the message originated.

Options when working with messages

There are several options available when working with text, picture and e-mail messages. The order and availability of options may vary depending on the messaging function and your service provider.
