Messaging
You can read, write, send, and save text, multimedia, audio, and flash messages, and e-
mail. The messaging services can only be used if your network or service provider
supports them.
Text and multimedia messages
You can create a message and optionally attach, for example, a picture. Your phone
automatically changes a text message to a multimedia message when a file is attached.
Text messages
Your device supports text messages beyond the limit for a single message. Longer
messages are sent as two or more messages. Your service provider may charge
accordingly. Characters with accents, other marks, or some language options take more
space, and limit the number of characters that can be sent in a single message.
The total number of characters left and the number of messages needed for sending
are displayed.
To send messages, the correct message centre number must be stored in your device.
Normally, this number is set by default through your SIM card. To set the number
manually, select Menu > Messaging > Message settings > Text messages >
Message centres > Add centre , and enter a name and the number from the service
provider.
Multimedia messages
A multimedia message can contain text, pictures, and sound or video clips.
Only devices that have compatible features can receive and display multimedia
messages. The appearance of a message may vary depending on the receiving device.
The wireless network may limit the size of MMS messages. If the inserted picture exceeds
this limit, the device may make it smaller so that it can be sent by MMS.
Important: Exercise caution when opening messages. Messages may contain malicious
software or otherwise be harmful to your device or PC.
For availability and subscription to the multimedia messaging service (MMS), contact
your service provider. You may also download the configuration settings.
