Your device supports the sending of text messages beyond the character limit for
a single message. Longer messages will be 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 like Chinese,
take up more space limiting the number of characters that can be sent in a single
message.
The message length indicator at the top of the display shows the total number of
characters left and the number of messages needed for sending. For example,
673/2 means that there are 673 characters left and that the message will be sent
as a series of two messages.
