text messages, and receive messages that can contain pictures
(network service).
Before you can send any text or SMS e-mail message, you must save
your message center number. See “Message settings,” p. 39.
To check SMS e-mail service availability and to subscribe to the service,
contact your service provider. To save an e-mail address in
Address Book

see “Save numbers and text items,” p. 56.
Your device supports the sending of text messages beyond the character limit
for a single message. Longer messages is sent as a series of two or more messages.
Your service provider may charge accordingly. Characters that use accents or
other marks, and characters from some language options like Chinese, take up
more space limiting the number of characters that can be sent in a single message.
At the top of the display, you can see the message length indicator
counting backwards from the maximum number of characters
supported by the phone.
