The accounts in Messages	To write and send a text message
When you open Messages, a list of your accounts appears.	1. In	Messages select Create SMS. (You can also select SMS >
	tap Message > New.)

The top items in the list, Create SMS, and Create MMS, are shortcuts for directly creating new text messages (SMS or EMS).

An asterisk next to an account indicates that a message has arrived since you last opened the accounts inbox.

Handling text messages

A text message is sent via SMS (Short Message Service). It can contain up to 160 characters (70 characters if you use non-Latin characters). If you create a longer message it will be sent as two (or more) separate messages (concatenated), but usually received as one message. If you add pictures, sounds and other items to your message it becomes an EMS message.

Text messages can be sent to one or more people (not more than thirty, we recommend), and you can request a delivery report when your text messages have been delivered to the recipients. The delivery report arrives on your P908 as a text message.

If you leave the message before sending it, it will automatically be stored in the Draft folder (unless you edit a message which was already located in Outbox).

2.Enter the recipient’s number or select To and select recipient or recipients from your contact list and select Done.

3.Write your message.

4.Go to the address tab and specify whether you want a delivery report or not.

5.Tap Send.
