Sending and Receiving Text Messages
Understanding appended messages
If you go over the character limit for a single message,
the phone may automatically append an empty
segment to your message to make space.
Important:
Your service provider will charge you for
each message segment.
When you start a message, the maximum character
limit (“200” in the example) appears above the text
entry screen. This number counts down as you enter
characters, until it reaches 0. If you continue to enter
text after this counter reaches 0, a message segment
may be appended. If a segment is appended, a
message will appear on the phone screen.
