Messaging, Internet, and Instant Messenger

This section outlines how to send text messages (SMS) and

Working with SMS or MMS Messages

You can write an SMS message of up to 160 characters. When

you enter more than 160 characters, your phone handles the

message as a multi-part message.

You can also send or receive multimedia messages (MMS). In

addition to the familiar text content of text messages, multimedia

messages can contain images, video clips, audio clips, and

combinations of these things in more than one page.

MMS also supports e-mail addressing, so that messages can be

sent from phone to e-mail and vice versa.

Note: Pictures, Sounds, and Video can be moved to the Storage Card to

eliminate device overload.
