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.

DID YOU KNOW? You can send and receive text messages even while you are on a phone call. This is easiest when using a hands-free headset or the speakerphone.
