Text messages (SMS)

Using the Short Message Service (SMS) you can send and receive multi-part
messages made of several ordinary text messages (network service) that can
contain pictures.

Before you can send any text, picture, or e-mail message, you need to save your
message centre number, see

.

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.

At the top of the display, 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.
