receiving messages
You can use your smartphone to send and
receive brief text messages (SMS) and
multimedia messages (MMS). Before you
send or receive messages, consult your
network operator for pricing and availability
of text and multimedia messaging
services.
NOTE The network settings for text and
multimedia messaging are preset by the
network operator associated with the SIM
card included with your smartphone. If you
use a different SIM card associated with a
different network operator, you need to
manually enter network settings to use
messaging services. See XXX for
instructions.
