6. Messaging
The message services can only be used if they are supported by your network or
your service provider.
Note: When sending messages, your phone may display a sending
verification. This is an indication that the message has been sent by
your device to the message center number programmed into your device.
This is not an indication that the message has been received at the
intended destination. For details about messaging services, check with
your service provider.
Important: Exercise caution when opening messages. Messages may
contain a virus or other malicious software that could harm your
device or PC.
Only devices that have compatible features can receive and display
messages. The appearance of a message may vary depending on the
receiving device.
■ Text messages (SMS)
Using the short message service (SMS) you can send and receive multipart
messages made of several ordinary text messages (network service).
Before you can send any text or e-mail message, you must save your message
center number. See "Message settings," p. 38.
To check SMS e-mail service availability and to subscribe to the service, contact
your service provider.
Your device supports the sending of text messages beyond the character limit
for a single message. Longer messages are 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.
At the top of the display, you can see the message length indicator counting
backwards from the maximum number of characters supported by the phone.
