If you have subscribed to a messaging service through your wireless provider, you can send and receive text messages to compatible phones that also subscribe to a compatible message service. You may also be able to send and receive picture messages and
Your device supports the sending of text messages beyond the 160 character limit for a single message. Longer messages will be sent as a series of two or more messages. Your service provider may charge accordingly. Characters that use accents or other marks, and characters from some language options like Chinese, take up more space, limiting the number of characters that can be sent in a single message.
The number of characters remaining in a message are indicated by counter in upper right corner of screen. If there are special characters in your message, the indicator may not show the message length correctly.
Note: When sending messages, your device may display Message sent. This is an indication that the message has been sent by your device to the message center number programed into your device. This is not an indication that the message has been received at the intended destination. For more details about messaging services, check with your service provider.
