DID YOU KNOW? You can address messages to multiple recipients by separating the addresses with a comma. If you address a single message to three people, you may be billed for three messages (depending on your Verizon Wireless service plan).

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.)
