Text messages

Your device supports text messages beyond the limit for a single message. Longer messages are sent as two or more messages. Your service provider may charge accordingly. Characters with accents or other marks, and characters from some language options, take up more space, and limit 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.

The blinking indicates that the message memory is full. Before you can receive new messages, delete some of your old messages.

Multimedia messages

Only devices that have compatible features can receive and display multimedia messages. The appearance of a message may vary depending on the receiving device.

The wireless network may limit the size of MMS (multimedia messaging service) messages. If the inserted picture exceeds this limit, the device may make it smaller so that it can be sent by MMS.

A multimedia message can contain text, pictures, sound clips, and video clips.

Create text or multimedia message

Select Menu > Messaging > New message > Message. To add recipients, scroll to the To: field, and enter the recipient’s number or e-mail address, or select Add to select recipients from the available options. To add Cc or Bcc recipients, select Options > Add recipient > Cc or Bcc. To enter message text, scroll to the Text: field, and enter the text. To add a subject for the message, select Options > Add subject, and enter the subject. To attach content to the message, select Options > Insert and the desired type of attachment. To send the message, press the call key.

The message type is changed automatically depending on the content of the message. Operations that may cause the message type to change from text message to multimedia message include, but are not limited to, the following:

Attach a file to the message.

Request a delivery report.

Set priority for the message to high or low.

Add a Cc or Bcc recipient or subject to the message or an e-mail address in the recipient field.

When the message type changes to multimedia message, the phone may briefly display Message changed to multimedia, and the header text of the message editing window changes to New multimedia. Check the header text for message type.

Service providers may charge differently depending on the message type. Check with your service provider for details.
