5. Messaging

Your phone is capable of creating and receiving text, voice, and minibrowser messages. Check with your service provider to see what messaging is available for you.

■Text messages

Text messaging is a network service. See "Network services," p. 6 for more information. If your wireless service provider supports this feature, you can send and receive text messages to compatible phones that are also subscribed to the service.

When composing text messages, check the number of characters allowed in the top right corner of the message. Using special (unicode) characters takes up more space. If there are special characters in your message, the indicator may not show the message length correctly. Before the message is sent, the phone will tell you if the message exceeds the maximum length allowed for one message. Also, you can make distribution lists that contain phone numbers and names from your contact list. See "Distribution lists," p. 29 for more information.

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 programmed 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.
