Nokia 3500 manual Messaging, Text and multimedia messages

Messaging

You can read, write, send and save text and multimedia messages, e-mail, audio and flash messages. The messaging services can only be used if they are supported by your network or service provider.

Text and multimedia messages

Text messages

Your device supports the sending of text messages beyond the limit for a single message. Longer messages are sent as two or more messages. Your service provider may charge accordingly. Characters with accents or other marks, and characters from some language options, take up more space, and limit the number of characters that can be sent in a single message.

An indicator at the top of the display shows the total number of characters left and the number of messages needed for sending.

Before you can send any text or SMS e-mail messages, you must save your message center number. Select Menu > Messaging > Message settings > Text messages > Message centres > Add centre, enter a name, and the number from the service provider.

Multimedia messages and multimedia plus messages

A multimedia message can contain text, pictures, sound clips, and video clips. A multimedia plus message can

18 contain also any other content, even files not supported by your phone.

Important: Exercise caution when opening messages. Messages may contain malicious software or otherwise be harmful to your device or PC.

To check availability and to subscribe to the multimedia messaging service (MMS), contact your service provider. You also may download the configuration settings. See "Nokia support," p. 9.
