Messaging

Creating and sending a text message

Each text message can hold up to 160 characters. Messages with more than 160 characters are automatically split into several messages. (If you send a text message to an email address, the email address is deducted from the 160-character count.)

1.Press Messaging .

2.Select New.

3.Select the To field to address the message:

Press Center . If the recipient’s name appears in the list of recent addresses, select it from the list.

If the recipient is in your Contacts list, enter the first initial and last name (no spaces), and then select the recipient’s phone number or email address, depending on where you want to send the message.

If the recipient’s name isn’t in the list of recent addresses or your Contacts list, enter the phone number, email address, or a Verizon Wireless alias.

Tip

If you see numbers when you expect to see letters (or the other way around), you need to turn Option Lock on by pressing Option twice or turn it off by pressing Option once.

Tip

To add a new QuickText phrase, select Edit QuickText from the list.

Tip

Some symbols can’t be used in text messages. The Messaging application automatically replaces invalid characters.

Tip

Select Save as Draft to save a draft of the message without sending it. To access the draft, select the category pick list at the top of the screen and select Drafts.
