Sending an SMS and outgoing message list
Information about writing and sending an SMS
If you are interrupted when writing an SMS (by a call, an incoming SMS, or the handset
changes to idle status because the waiting time was exceeded), the SMS is saved
automatically in the
outgoing message list
. You can continue to write the SMS later
(page 62).
Text messages that
cannot
be sent are assigned an error status (page 73) 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. If your text is longer, it will be
sent
automatically
as a
linked
message. Up to four messages with 153 characters each
can be linked. This means that you can enter up to 612 characters. But remember that
linking is more expensive.
