6. Messaging
You can read, write, send, and save text, multimedia, e-mail, audio, and 
flash messages. All messages are organized into folders.
■ Text messages (SMS)
With the short message service (SMS) you can send and receive text 
messages, and receive messages that can contain pictures (network 
service).
Before you can send any text or SMS e-mail message, you must save 
your message center number. See “Message settings,” p. 47.
To check SMS e-mail service availability and to subscribe to the service, 
contact your service provider. To save an e-mail address in

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. 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. 
At the top of the display, you can see the message length indicator 
counting backwards from the maximum number of characters 
supported by the phone.
