You can open messages directly from the start screen. Tap
Messaging
.
You can send and receive different kinds of messages:
• Text messages
• Multimedia messages that contain attachments, such as photos
• Chat messages
Messages and chats between you and a particular contact are arranged into
conversations.
When you want to get in touch with a contact, your phone can help you pick
the best method. If your contact is signed in to a chat service, you can start
chatting. Otherwise, you can send a text message instead.
If you make contact groups containing, for example, family or colleagues,
you can send a message to a group.
In the messaging settings, you can set your phone to back up your
messages to OneDrive. If you change to a new Windows Phone device, you
can get your messages to your new phone during the setup.
You can send text messages that are longer than the character limit for a
single message. Longer messages are sent as two or more messages. Your
service provider may charge accordingly.
