Text messages
Text messages are sent via the Short Message Service

of recipients, for example, that you may have saved in
the phone book.
You can add pictures, animations, melodies, and
sound effects to a text message, and format the text,
using the Enhanced Message Service (EMS). You can
also send picture messages.
Note: Text messages with EMS functionality can only
be sent to other compatible phones supporting the
EMS standard.
