Sending a text message and the outgoing message list
Notes on writing and sending an SMS message
If you are interrupted as you are writing (by a call, an incoming SMS or because the
handset changes to idle status because of prolonged inactivity), the SMS is automati-
cally stored in the
outgoing message list
. You can continue writing the SMS later
(page 31).
Text messages that
cannot
be sent are assigned an error status (page 38) and are placed
in the
incoming message list
.
Text messages are only stored automatically if sending is interrupted. If you wish to
store a message then you must do so
before it is sent
.
Writing text messages
A
single
text message can be up to 160 characters long.
Remember
that the service provider cannot deliver a text message that contains Greek
or Cyrillic characters.
