Writing text messages
A
single
text message can be up to 160 characters long. If your text is longer, it will
automatically
be sent as a
linked
message. Up to four messages with 153 characters
each can be linked. This means you can enter up to 612 characters. Bear in mind that
linked messages incur correspondingly higher charges.
Remember
that the service provider cannot deliver a text message that contains Greek
or Cyrillic characters. You will therefore need to choose a different input language.
When you have opened the input field for the text message, press the
©
display key.
From the menu, select
Select Language
and then press
[
to confirm your selection.
Next, select an input language and confirm your selection with
[
. Then briefly press
