6. Messaging

You can read, write, send, and save text, multimedia, email, audio, and flash messages. All messages are organized into folders.

■Text message

With the short message service (SMS) you can send and receive text messages, and receive messages that can contain pictures (network service).

Before you can send any text or SMS email message, you must save your message center number. See ”Message settings” p. 37.

To check SMS email service availability and to subscribe to the service, contact your service provider. To save an email address in Contacts, see ”Save details” p. 40.

Your device supports the sending of text messages beyond the character limit for a single message. Longer messages are 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.

An indicator at the top of the display shows the total number of characters left and the number of messages needed for sending. For example, 673/2 means that there are 673 characters left and that the message will be sent as a series of 2 messages.
