Text messages (SMS)
Using the short message service (SMS) your phone can send and receive multipart messages, which consist of
several ordinary text messages (network service). Invoicing may be based on the number of ordinary messages
that are required for a multipart message.
Before you can send a message, you need to save some message settings. See Settings for text messages, 36.
You can also send and receive text messages that contain pictures. A picture message can be a multipart
message.
Note: Only devices that offer picture message features can receive and display picture messages.
Write and send messages
Your device supports the sending of text messages beyond the normal 160-character limit. If your message
exceeds 160 characters, it will be sent as a series of two or more messages. The number of available
characters / the current part number of a multipart message are shown on the top right of the display, for
example 120/2. Note that using special (Unicode) characters take up more space.
1. Select Menu > Messages > Create message >Text message.
2. Enter a message. See Enter text, 25. To insert text templates or a picture into the message, see
Templates, 31.
3. To send the message, select Send.
The messages that you send are saved in the Sent items folder if the setting Save sent messages is set to Yes.
See Settings for text messages, 36.

message.
