16 Text messages
You can use your phone to send and receive short text messages and e-mail if your
service provider offers the message feature and if you subscribe to the service. Both
services are network dependent features, so you must consult your service provider.
Message recipients: The phone to which you send a text message must support text
messages. It may not be possible to send an SMS text message to someone’s phone
who has an account with a different service provider or a phone with a different
protocol, but you can send and receive e-mail messages.
Message length: The maximum length of a text message is 160 characters. Your
phone has space for several text messages, depending on the length of each message.
The maximum length of a text message depends on the capabilities of the network
from which the message originated.
When writing text messages, use predictive text for fast text entry. For details, see
“Predictive text” on page 24.
• FOLDERS
Your phone has four folders for managing text messages.
Inbox—The inbox stores messages you receive. Messages remain in the inbox until
you delete them or save them in the archive folder.
Sent items—The sent items folder stores messages you have written, sent, edited
and forwarded. The sent icon appears next to the message .
Archive—The archive folder stores messages you want to save.
Templates—The templates folder stores message templates you edit and create.
A template is like a form letter—a message you can use many times.
