Your phone is able to send and receive text messages to
compatible phones and other devices. If a text message
exceeds 160 characters, it is broken up and delivered in
separate messages, which incur additional cost. Before you
learn to send text messages, it’s best to cover the basics of
composing a message using the various text entry modes of
Abc
,
Symbol
,
123
, and
T9 Word
.
Available memory is shared between all messages. You can
store up to 100 incoming and 100 outgoing messages. The
exact number that you can store is dependent upon
message length.
Text entry modes
You can compose text messages made up of alphabetical
characters, symbols, and numbers. Each method of
character entry (symbol, number, etc.) is called a text entry
mode. There are four such entry modes as indicated in the
following table:
