Messages (Menu 1)
If you’ve subscribed to a message service, you can
send and receive messages to compatible phones that
are also subscribed to a message service.
You can also send and receive
picture messages, multimedia messages, and e-mail if supported by your
network. Composed messages can be up to 450 characters in length.
Linked messages
Your phone can send and receive long messages (up to 450 characters) in
sequences. While receiving linked messages, you can start reading the
first part before the phone has received the entire message.
While viewing the message, you may see *some text missing* on the
display. This is normal, and the message content will be updated as soon
as the missing sequence arrives.
If the memory is full, you may have to delete a message from your inbox
or outbox before your phone can update the missing text.
Before you can send and receive messages
You’ll need the following to send and receive messages:
• A messaging service through your wireless provider
• A message center number, which must be saved to your phone
(if your wireless provider hasn’t done so already)
