Sending text messages (SMS) and outgoing list
If you receive a call while you are writing an SMS, the SMS will automatically be saved
in the
outgoing list
. You can accept the call and finish the SMS later (page 51).
Text messages that could
not
be sent are assigned an error status (page 62) and are
saved in the
incoming
list.
SMS messages are saved automatically only where transmission is interrupted.
If you want to save an SMS you have to do so
before sending
it.
Your telephone line will be engaged while the SMS message is being sent to the SMS
send centre. All handsets will display
Sending message!
.
Writing SMS messages
An
individual
SMS may not exceed 160 characters. If your text is longer, it will
automat-

as a
linked
SMS. Up to four SMS messages each with 153 characters can
be linked. In other words you can write up to 612 characters. But remember that linking
will increase the charges.
Please bear in mind
that service providers cannot relay an SMS text with Greek or
Cyrillic characters. Therefore, if you have set your display language to Russian or Greek,
you will have to change the language

[
and then briefly press the end call key
