Using the Messaging
application
You can use the Messaging application to
send and receive brief text messages
(SMS) and multimedia messages (MMS).
Before you use your smartphone to send or
receive messages, consult your network
operator for pricing and availability of text
and multimedia messaging services.
Creating and sending a text message
Each text message can have up to 160
characters. You can send a message of
more than 160 characters, but the
message will automatically be split into
several messages. (If you send a text
message to an email address, the email
address is deducted from the
160-character count.)
1 Press Start and select Messaging .
2 Press New (left action key).
3 Enter the recipient’s mobile phone
number or email address. Here are
some shortcuts:
•
If the recipient’s name and mobile
number are in your Contacts list, type
the first few letters of the first or last
name or simply enter the first initial,
followed by a space, and then the last
initial to find a name.
•
Press Center to view a list of
recently used addresses, and select
the recipient from the list. Select
Add
Recipient to add a recipient from your
Contacts list.
DID YOU KNOW
?
You can send and receive text
messages even while you are on a phone call.
This is easiest when using a hands-free
headset or the speakerphone.
TIP
To address a message to multiple
recipients, separate the addresses by
pressing
Enter or entering a semicolon (;). You
can send a message to up to 20 addresses.
TIP
To send a message to a different number
for a contact, select the contact in the To field,
and then edit the number that appears in the
box directly below the contact number. You
can also select a number by pressing
Center
on the 5-way, and then edit it.
