Messages
You can read, write, send, and save text, multimedia, and e-mail 
messages. All messages are organized in folders.
Before you can send text, picture or text (SMS) e-mail messages, you need to save your 
message center number. See “Message settings” on page 39. The default setting of the 
multimedia message service is generally on.
Note: When sending messages using the SMS network service, your phone may 
display “Message sent”. This is an indication that the message has been sent by 
your phone to the message center number programmed into your phone. This is not 
an indication that the message has been received at the intended destination. For 
more details about SMS services, check with your service provider.
The appearance of a multimedia message may vary depending on the receiving device.
 • TEXT MESSAGES (SMS)
You can use SMS (short message service) to send and receive multipart messages that 
consist of several ordinary text messages. This feature requires network services. See your 
service provider for more information about service availability and pricing.
Your phone allows you to send text messages beyond the normal 160-character limit. If your 
message exceeds 160 characters, it is sent as a series of two or more messages. In the 
navigation bar, 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.
Using special (Unicode) characters, such as ë, â, á, ì,
 
takes up more space. If there are special 
characters in your message, the indicator may not show the message length correctly. 
Before the message is sent, the device tells you if the message exceeds the maximum length 
allowed for one message. You can cancel sending by pressing Cancel or you can save the 
message in the inbox.
You can also send and receive text messages that contain pictures. This feature must be 
supported by your network services or service provider. Only phones that offer picture 
message features can receive and display picture messages. The text messages function uses 
shared memory.
Write and send a message
In the standby mode, you can move the joystick to the left to start writing a message 
quickly.
The number of available characters /the current part number of a multipart message are 
shown on the top right of the display (such as 120/2).
