Before sending text messages, it’s best to cover the basics of
composing messages using the different text entry modes,
Abc , Symbol , 123 , and T9 Word .
Available memory is shared between all messages. You can
store up to 50 incoming and 50 outgoing text messages,
while up to 60 picture messages can be stored in the
Inbox .
However, the exact number of messages that you can store
is dependent upon message length.
Text entry modes
Text messages can be made up of alphabetical characters or
symbols. Each text entry “mode” is explained in further detail
in the following table:
The current mode of text entry ( ABC , SYM , 123 , or T9 Word ) is
indicated in the lower part of the display when composing a
text message.
