SMS (Text Messages)
Text message sending and the draft message list
If a call arrives while you are writing a message, then the message is automatically saved to the draft message list. You can take the call and finish writing the message later (page 42).
Text messages that cannot be sent are assigned an error status (page 54) and are placed in the incoming message list.
Text messages are only stored automatically if sending is interrupted. If you wish to store a message then you have to do so before it is sent.
Your phone line is busy while your text message is being transmitted to the SMS send centre. The message SMS being sent is displayed on all handsets.
i | Remember that some service providers will bill you for a cancelled call |
to the SMS centre. | |

Writingtext messages
A single text message can be up to 160 characters long. If your text is longer, it will be sent automatically as a linked message. Up to four messages with 153 characters each can be linked. You can enter up to 612 characters. Remember that linking messages incurs higher charges.
Remember that the service provider cannot deliver a text message that contains Greek or Cyrillic characters. If you have set Greek or Russian as your display language, you will need to change the input language before you write a message.
When you have opened the input window for the text message, press display key ©. From the menu, select Select Language and then press [ to confirm your choice. Now select an input language that uses the Roman character set (e.g. German or English). Press [ to confirm your selection and then briefly press the end call key a
twice to return to the input window. The setting of the input language only applies to | ||||||||||||||||
the current text message. You write a text message like this: | ||||||||||||||||
