You can use your phone to send and receive short text messages and e-mail if your
service provider offers the message feature and if you subscribe to the service. Both
services are network dependent features, so you must consult your service provider.
• TEXT MESSAGES
Message recipients: The phone to which you send a text message must support text
messages. You may not be able to send a short message service (SMS) text message
to a phone that has an account with a different service provider or a phone with a
different protocol, but you can send and receive e-mail messages.
Message length: The maximum length of a received text message is 160 characters.
Your phone has space for several text messages, depending on the length of each
message. The maximum length of a text message depends on the capabilities of the
network from which the message originated.
When sending messages, your device 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.
Folders
Your phone has four folders for managing text messages:
Inbox—The inbox stores messages you receive. Messages remain in the inbox until
you delete them or save them in the archive folder.
Outbox—The outbox stores messages you have written, sent, edited, or forwarded.
Archive—The archive folder stores messages you want to save.
Templates—The templates folder stores message templates you edit and create. A
template is like a form letter—a message you can use many times.
Write and send
When writing text messages, you can use the predictive text method for fast text
entry. For details, see “Predictive text input” on page 14.
1
From the menus, select Messages > Create message.
The message screen appears.
2
Enter a message of up to 160 characters.
A counter in the upper right corner of the screen shows the number of
characters remaining.

Receive a text message
When you receive a text message, the phone plays a message alert tone and the
text message icon
appears, along with one of the following messages:
Message received—You have an unread message or page. If you have more than
one message or page, the appropriate number is listed before this message.
When you receive the above message along with another message call, followed by
a name or number, the message is a page. Only the names of people who are stored
in your contact list appear.
New emergency message—An emergency message or page was sent by someone
using the service provider. Emergency messages are sent only in situations where
life or property are in immediate danger. Emergency messages are listed first and
override all other messages.
Urgent—The message has a high priority. These messages are indicated by an
exclamation point (!).

unless one is an emergency message. An emergency message overrides any other
