Sending and
receiving messages
You can use your smartphone to send and
receive brief text messages (SMS) and
multimedia messages (MMS). Before you
send or receive messages, consult your

multimedia messaging are preset by the
network operator that provided the SIM
card included with your smartphone. If you
change to a SIM card from a network
operator that is not affiliated with
Vodafone, you need to manually enter

use messaging services. See Manually
entering network connection settings for
