Sending and receiving text and multimedia messages
You can use the Messaging application to
send and receive brief text messages
(SMS) and multimedia messages (MMS).
Creating and sending a text message
Each text message can have up to 160
characters. You can send a message of
more than 160 characters, but the
message may be split into several
messages. If you send a text message to
an email address, the email address is
deducted from the 160-character count.

send or receive messages, consult your
