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

e-mail messages.

Your device supports the sending of text messages beyond the 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, take up more space limiting the number of characters that can be sent in a single message.

Composed messages can be up to 140 characters in length as indicated by counter in upper right corner of screen. Using Unicode characters takes up more space. If there are Unicode 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.

The Nokia 6016i is a discontinued mobile phone that garnered attention for its classic design and reliable performance. Launched in the mid-2000s, it represented a significant era in mobile technology, catering primarily to users seeking functionality over flair.

One of the standout features of the Nokia 6016i is its compact and ergonomic design. It fits comfortably in the hand, making it easy to carry around and use. The phone boasts a 1.8-inch display with a resolution of 128 x 160 pixels, which was quite standard for the time.

This operating system provides basic functionalities like SMS messaging, call management, and an address book capable of storing numerous contacts with multiple numbers each. While it lacks advanced smartphone features, it does support polyphonic ringtones, enabling users to personalize their experience with different sounds.

Additionally, the phone includes an FM radio, allowing users to listen to their favorite stations on the go, a noteworthy addition for music lovers at the time. While it does not offer a camera—a common feature in modern smartphones—it focuses on providing a straightforward calling and texting experience that many users appreciated.

Overall, the Nokia 6016i encapsulates a period when mobile phones were transitioning from basic communication devices to multifunctional gadgets. Its simple yet effective features made it a reliable choice for anyone looking for a device that excels in core functionalities rather than getting lost in the complexities of modern technology.
