Exchanging Messages
You can send text messages (SMS) of up to 160 characters to another
mobile phone. If you type more than the allotted text amount (up to 7 pages
of 153 characters), the message is delivered as a series of messages (EMS).
If you keep typing after the limit, your message is delivered as Multimedia
messages (MMS).
Multimedia messages (MMS) can contain text and a picture, location, a
recorded voice, an audio file, a video, or a picture slideshow.
The Messaging application automatically converts a message into a
multimedia message if you add a subject or attach a media file.
