Sending a text message and the outgoing message list
Notes on writing and sending an SMS message
If you are interrupted as you are writing (by a call, an incoming SMS or because the
handset changes to idle status because of prolonged inactivity), the SMS is automati-
cally stored in the
outgoing message list
. You can continue writing the SMS later
(page 43).
Text messages that
cannot
be sent are assigned an error status (page 50) and are placed
in the
incoming message list
.
Text messages are only stored automatically if sending is interrupted. If you wish to
store a message then you must do so
before it is sent
.

can be linked. This means you can enter up to 612 characters. Bear in mind that linked
messages incur correspondingly higher charges.

Language and then press

character set
(e. g.
Deutsch
or
English
). Press
OK
to confirm your selection and then briefly press
the "end call" key
a
twice to return to the input window. The setting of the input lan-
guage only applies to the current text message.
