4. Messages (Menu 1)

If you have subscribed to a message network service, you can send and receive messages to compatible phones that are also subscribed to a message service. You can also send and receive picture messages, multimedia messages, and e-mail if supported by your service provider. Also, you can make distribution lists that contain phone numbers and names from your contact list. See “Text entry”, page 24 for more information.

When composing text messages, picture messages, or multimedia 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.

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.

Important: E-mail messages or multimedia message objects may contain viruses or otherwise be harmful to your device or PC. Do not open any attachment if you are not sure of the trustworthiness of the sender.
