Text Messaging (SMS)
With text messaging (SMS), you can send and receive text
messages between your phone and another messaging-ready
phone. When you receive a new message, it will automatically
display on your phone’s screen.
In addition, text messaging includes a variety of preset messages,
such as “The meeting has been cancelled,” that make composing
messages fast and easy. Use your phone to customize your own
preset messages (up to 50 characters).
Text messages can be composed of up to six segments of 160
characters each, for a total of 960 characters per text message.
The current segment and total segment count is displayed at the
top of each segment. For example, (5/6) at the top of a segment
would indicate you are viewing segment five of a six-segment
message.
Note See your service plan for applicable charges for text
messaging.
