Text messages
Text messaging, or the Short Message Service (SMS), enables you to exchange
messages containing only text with other phones.
Your Vertu phone supports the sending of more than the standard 160-character limit
for a single text message. If you enter more than 160 characters, the message is split
into linked text messages. These linked messages will be sent at the same time.
When you send a text message, your Vertu phone uses a profile that defines how the
phone handles interaction with your service provider. In most cases, the profile will
be set using information on the SIM card. For information on manually setting up text
messaging, see
For most service providers you will not need to modify these settings as the
necessary information will be obtained from your SIM card automatically. Depending
on your SIM card, you may be able to store more than one set of message profiles.
