Creating a message
Creating a new message is by default a text message, but changes automatically into a
picture message when files are added.
Text messages (SMS)
With the short message service (SMS) you can send and receive text messages, and receive
messages that can contain pictures (network service).
Before you can send any text or SMS e-mail messages, you must save your message center
number. See “Message settings,” p. 33.
To check SMS e-mail service availability and to subscribe to the service, contact your service
provider. To save an e-mail address in Phonebook, see “Save details,” p. 44.
Your device supports text messages beyond the limit for a single message. Longer messages
are sent as two or more messages. Your service provider may charge accordingly. Characters
with accents or other marks, and characters from some language options, take up more space,
and limit the number of characters that can be sent in a single message.
An 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.
