Messaging
Using text and multimedia messaging
You can send and receive text messages from your phone using SMS (Short Message
Service). If your subscription includes MMS (Multimedia Messaging Service), you can also
send and receive messages that contain media files, for example, pictures and videos.
The number of characters you can send in a single text message varies depending on
the operator and the language you use. If you exceed the character limit, then all your
single messages are linked together and sent as one message. You are charged for
each single text message you send. When you view your messages, they appear as
conversations, which means that all messages to and from a particular person are
grouped together.
To send multimedia messages, you need the correct MMS settings in your phone. See
Internet
and messaging settings
on page 31.
