5. Messaging
You can use mobile messages to keep in touch with friends, family, and business
associates by using the short message service (SMS), which is a network service.
Not all messaging features are available in all wireless networks. Contact your
service provider for availability and subscription information.
When sending messages, your phone may display the words Message sent . This is
an indication that the message has been sent by your device to the message center
number programmed into your device. This is not an indication that the message
has been received at the intended destination. For more details about messaging
services, check with your service provider.
■ Text messages
Your device supports the sending of text messages beyond the character limit for a
single message. Longer messages are 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, such as Chinese, take up more space,
which limits the number of characters that can be sent in a single message.
You can use predefined templates to help you write text messages. Before you can
send any text or e-mail messages, you need to configure the message settings.
See “Message settings,” p. 37.
To check SMS e-mail service availability and to subscribe to the service, contact
