Messaging

.

In Messaging you can create, send, receive, view, edit, and organise text messages,
multimedia messages, e-mail messages, presentations, documents, smart
messages, and special text messages containing data. You can also receive
messages and data via an infrared or Bluetooth technology connection, receive
service messages, cell broadcast messages, and send service commands.

Note that only devices that offer picture message features can receive and display
picture messages.

Text messages and multimedia messages use shared memory.

See “Shared

memory” on page 17.

Your device supports the sending of text messages beyond the normal 160-character limit. If
your message exceeds 160 characters, it will be sent as a series of two or more messages.
Note that each message will be invoiced separately according to your service provider’s
rates.

In the navigation bar, you can see the message length indicator counting backwards from
160. For example, 10 (2) means that you can still add 10 characters for the text to be sent as
two messages.

Note that 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
