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. A
single text message may contain up to 160 characters. If you exceed 160 characters, then
all your single messages are linked and sent together. You are charged for each 160-
character message sent. 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
