Text messages (SMS)

Using the short message service (SMS) you can send and receive
multipart messages (network service) that can contain pictures.

Before you can send any text, picture, or e-mail message, you must save
your message centre number. See “Message settings,” p. 45.

To check SMS e-mail service availability and to subscribe to the service,
contact your service provider. To save an e-mail address in Contacts, see
“Save numbers, items, or an image,” p. 49.

Your device supports the sending of text messages beyond the character limit for
a single message. Longer messages will be sent as a series of two or more
messages. Your service provider may charge accordingly. Characters that use
accents or other marks, and characters from some language options like Chinese,
take up more space, limiting the number of characters that can be sent in a single
message.

An indicator at the top of the display shows the total number of characters left
and the number of messages needed for sending. For example, 673/2 means that
there are 673 characters left and that the message will be sent as a series of two
messages.
