Messaging

This chapter shows you how to set up and use the SMS and MMS functions of 
your smartphone.
SMS and MMS messages are accessed via Messaging. Messaging automatically 
arranges received and sent messages into threads.
To access Messaging tap Messaging on the Home screen.

Creating a new message

You can use your phone to compose SMS or MMS 
messages.
Tap New message to compose a new message.
Enter the recipient’s phone number or name in the To 
field. Suggested contacts will be displayed in a drop-down 
list below the text field. To select a suggested contact, tap 
the contact’s name.
Once you have entered the recipient, enter your message 
in the text box labeled Type to compose.

 

Note: An SMS message is normally limited to 160 characters. If your message is longer 
than 160 characters, it will be sent as multiple linked messages. Most phones will 
automatically join the linked messages to present the recipient with a single long 
message, however, some older phones do not have this ability.

Press the Menu button to see what options are available when creating a new 
message.The options change depending on the status of the message.
