You can use mobile messages to keep in touch with friends, family, and business associates by using the short message service (SMS). Not all messaging features are available in all wireless networks. Contact your service provider for availability and subscription information.

When sending messages, your phone may display the words Message sent. This is an indication that the message has been sent by your device to the message centre 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.

Text messages (network service)

Your device supports the sending of text messages beyond the character limit for a single message. If your message exceeds 160 characters, it will be 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. You can cancel sending by selecting Cancel or you can save the message in the inbox.

You can add pictures and templates to your text messages. Text templates are indicated by and picture templates are indicated by . Each picture message is made up of several text messages. Therefore, sending one picture message may cost more than sending one text message. Contact your service provider for pricing information.

Before you can send any text, picture, or e-mail message, you need to save some message settings. See "Message settings" on page 34.

To check SMS e-mail service availability and to subscribe to the service, contact your service provider.
