You can read, write, send, and save text, multimedia, and e-mail messages. All messages are organized in folders.

Before you can send text, picture or text (SMS) e-mail messages, you need to save your message center phone number. See “Message settings” on page 36. The default setting of the multimedia message service is generally on.

Note: When sending messages using the SMS network service, your phone may display Message sent. This is an indication that the message has been sent by your phone to the message center number programmed into your phone. This is not an indication that the message has been received at the intended destination. For more details about SMS services, check with your service provider.

The appearance of a multimedia message may vary depending on the receiving device.

• TEXT MESSAGES (SMS)

You can use SMS (short message service) to send and receive multipart messages that consist of several ordinary text messages. This feature requires network services. See your service provider for more information about service availability and pricing.

Your phone allows you to send text messages beyond the normal 160-character limit. If your message exceeds 160 characters, it is sent as a series of two or more messages. In the navigation bar, you can see the message length indicator counting backwards from 160. For example, 10 (2) means that you can still add 10 characters for the text to be sent as two messages.

Using special (Unicode) characters, such as ë, â, á, ì, 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 device tells you if the message exceeds the maximum length allowed for one message. To cancel sending, press Cancel, or you can save the message in the inbox.

You can also send and receive text messages that contain pictures. This feature must be supported by your network services or service provider. Only phones that offer picture message features can receive and display picture messages. The text messages function uses shared memory.

Write and send a message

In the standby mode, you can move the joystick to the left to start writing a message quickly.

The number of available characters is the first part, and the current part number is the second part of the multipart message shown on the top right of the display (such as 120/2).
