6. Messaging
You can use mobile messages to keep in touch with friends, family, and business 
associates by using the short message service (SMS), which is a network service. 
Not all messaging features are available in all wireless networks. Contact your 
service provider for availability and subscription information.
When sending messages, your phone may display the words 
Message sent
. This is 
an indication that the message has been sent by your device 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 service provider.
■ Text messages
Your device supports the sending of text messages beyond the character limit for 
a single message. Longer messages are sent as a series of two or more messages. 
Your service provider may charge accordingly. A message length indicator 
appears at the top of the phone display. This indicator allows you to see how 
many characters are left in the message as you are entering text because it 
counts backwards from 913.
Characters that use accents or other marks, and characters from some language 
options like Chinese, take up more space limiting the number of characters that 
can be sent in a single message. 
You can use predefined templates to help you write text messages. Before you 
can send any text or e-mail message, you need to save some message settings. 
See ”Message settings,” p. 43.
To check SMS e-mail service availability and to subscribe to the service, contact 
your service provider. 
Text entry
To enter text while writing messages, use traditional or predictive text input. 
When using traditional text input, press a number key, to 9, repeatedly until 
the character you want is displayed. In predictive text input you can enter a letter 
with a single key press.
