SMS and MMS

Before using SMS and MMS

You can send text messages from your phone using SMS (Short Message Service). If your
subscription includes MMS (Multimedia Messaging Service), you can also send and receive
messages that contain media files, for example, pictures and videos. A single text message
may contain up to 160 characters. Longer messages are concatenated and sent as multiple
messages. You are charged for each of the messages sent.
To send multimedia messages, you need the correct MMS settings in the phone. See Internet
and messaging settings on page 6.
For more information on entering text, see Entering text on page 23.
