Messaging
Messaging lets you compose and send text (SMS) and multimedia messages (MMS) to other
mobile phones.
Creating and sending SMS and MMS messages
•
Any text (SMS) messages you compose that contain up to 160 characters will be
delivered as one message. If your message contains more than 160 characters, it
will still be delivered as one but it will count as more than one message. Your service
provider may charge you extra for such linked (concatenated) messages.
•
Multimedia (MMS) messages can contain text and a picture, a recorded voice, an
audio or video file or a picture slide show.
•
To create and send a text message,
tap “Create” on the All messages screen and
enter the phone number of the message recipient in the To field on the Compose
screen. Any matching contacts will appear on the screen. Tap a recipient or continue
entering the recipient’s phone number. Tap the text box that contains the text “Type
message”, and then start composing your message. When done, tap “Send” to send
the message.
NOTE:
•
As you compose the message, a counter in the top right corner of the text box will
keep track of the number of characters. Once you go over 160 characters, a new
message is created but automatically linked into one when received.
•
To receive delivery reports and notifications when a text message is received, press
“Menu” and then tap “Settings” on the All threads screen. In the SMS settings
section, select the “Delivery reports” check box.
