Messaging
Your device supports text, picture, voice messages, chat, blog, and email. You have to subscribe to a message network
service to send and receive messages between compatible devices that also subscribe to a message service.
Tip:
From Idle Mode, to quickly access the MESSAGING menu, press the Left Soft Key (
Message
).
Text Messages
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. Verizon Wireless may charge accordingly. Characters that use accents or other
marks, and characters from some language options, take up more space, limiting the number of characters that can be
sent in a single message.
Longer messages may not be supported by recipients of all networks. Messages sent to email addresses will take up more
of the body of the message.
