If you have subscribed to a message network service, you can

send and receive messages to compatible phones that are also

subscribed to a message service.

You can also send and receive picture messages,

multimedia messages, and e-mail if supported by your service provider. Also, you

can make distribution lists that contain phone numbers and names from your

contact list. Standard text messages can be up to 160 characters in length. See

“Text entry” on page 26 for more information.

Using special (Unicode) characters such as ë, â, á, ì take up more space. If there are

special characters in your message, the indicator may not show the message length

correctly. Before the message is sent, the device tells you if the message exceeds

the maximum length allowed for one message. You can cancel sending by selecting

Cancel or you can save the message in the inbox.

•LINKED MESSAGES

Your phone can send and receive long text messages (up to 450 characters). Text

messages that exceed 160 characters are automatically split into multiple

messages and sent as a series. The series of messages is linked by the compatible

phone when received and displayed as a single SMS message. For this feature to

work properly, the receiving phone must also support linked messages.

While you write a message, the number of available characters and the current part

number of linked message (for example, 120/2) are shown in the top right corner

of the display.

While receiving linked messages, you can start reading the first part before the

phone has received the entire message. While viewing the message, you may see

*some text missing* on the display. This is normal, and the message content will

be updated as soon as the missing sequence arrives.

If the memory is full, you may have to delete a message from your inbox or outbox

before your phone can update the missing text. See

“Delete text and picture

messages” on page 45 for more information.
