If you have subscribed to a message network service, you can send and receive
messages to compatible phones also subscribed to a message service. You can
also send and receive multimedia and e-mail messages if supported by your
network operator. Also, you can make distribution lists that contain phone
numbers and names from your contacts list. See "Text entry," p. 21.
When composing text or multimedia messages, check the number of characters
allowed in the top right corner of the message. Using Unicode characters takes
up more space. With Unicode characters in your message, the indicator may not
show the message length correctly. Before sending the message, the phone tells
you if the message exceeds the maximum length allowed for one message.
Important:
Exercise caution opening messages. Messages may contain
malicious software or otherwise be harmful to your device or PC.
Note:
When you send a message, your device may display
Message sent
,
indicating your device has sent the message to the message center
number programmed into your device. This is not an indication that the
message has been received at the intended destination. For more details
about messaging services, check with your network operator.
