Creating and sending a text message

Each text message can have up to
160 characters. Messages with more than
160 characters are automatically split into
several messages. (If you send a text
message to an email address, the email
address is deducted from the
160-character count.)

1 Press Applications

and

select

Messaging

.

2 Select New.

3 Select the To field to address the

message:

Press Center

. If the recipient’s

name appears in the list of recent
addresses, select it from the list.

If the recipient is in your Contacts list,
enter the first initial and last name (no
spaces), and then select the
recipient’s phone number or email
address, depending on where you
want to send the message.

If the recipient’s name isn’t in the list
of recent addresses or your Contacts
list, enter the phone number or email
address.

DID

YOU

KNOW

?

You can page someone to call

you by sending them a blank text message.

TIP

If you see numbers when you expect to

see letters (or the other way around), you
need to turn Option Lock on by pressing
Option twice or turn it off by pressing Option
once.

TIP

Do you need to enter a short code that

contains letters? Use the keyboard to enter it;
just press the letter keys. For example, if the
code is “win01,” press W to enter w, I to enter
i, and so on. No need to figure out the
numbers that correspond to the letters

TIP

To add a new QuickText phrase, select

Edit QuickText from the list.
