Messages
Your phone can send and receive messages to compatible
phones and devices. Before you send messages, it’s best to
cover the basics of composing messages using the four entry
modes of
Abc , Symbol , 123 , and T9 Word .
In Internat'l (GSM) Mode, a 140-character limit (including
spaces) applies to text messages. The 140-character limit
includes the Call Back Number, Reply to Address, Send to
Address, and message. Any excess characters will be
deleted when the message is sent.
Available memory is shared between all messages. You can
store up to 50 incoming and 50 outgoing messages.
However, the exact number depends upon message length.
Text entry modes
Messages can be made up of alphabetical characters,
symbols, and numbers. Each method for entering text is
outlined in the following table and explained in greater detail
in the sections that follow.
