6.  Messaging
You can read, write, send, and save text, multimedia, e-
mail, audio, and flash messages and postcards. All messages are 
organised 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 centre number. See Message settings p. 43.
To check SMS e-mail service availability and to subscribe to the service, 
contact your service provider. To save an e-mail address in Contacts, see 
Save details p. 47.
Your device supports the sending of text messages beyond the character limit for 
a single message. Longer messages will be 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. 
The message length indicator at the top of the display shows the total 
number of characters left and the number of messages needed for 
sending. For example, 673/2 means that there are 673 characters left 
and that the message will be sent as a series of two messages.
