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.
