Your phone can send and receive messages to compatible
phones and devices. If a message exceeds 160 characters, it
is broken up and delivered in separate messages, which
incur additional cost. Before you send messages, it’s best to
cover the basics of composing messages using the four entry
modes of

Abc

T9 Word

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.
