I. Entering the Message Text
Enter the message text.
You can enter up to 160 single-byte alphanumeric
characters (70 double-byte characters or 140 single-
byte katakana) for SMS and up to approximately
3,000 single-byte/1,500 double-byte characters (up
to 300 KB) for MMS.
Be careful of the following when composing an MMS
message:
• When single-byte and double-byte characters
are combined, the amount of characters you can
enter may decrease because the text length
contains control codes.
• If entering an e-mail address for the recipient,
single-byte katakana and pictographs are
unavailable for the message. Also, the maximum
message length decreases by the number of
characters in the address.
• The available number of characters may
decrease when the message text contains
several phone numbers/URLs/e-mail addresses/
line breaks.
• You can send up to 300 KB of a combination of
file attachments, message body text,
recipient(s), and subject. However, the maximum
number of characters for the subject and
message text may differ depending on the
number of recipients or the size of attached
sound/image files.
Tip: To cancel composing a message, press F,
