Text messages (SMS)

Using SMS (Short Message Service) your phone can send and receive multi-part
messages which consist of several ordinary text messages (network service). This
may affect the invoicing of the messages.

You can also send and receive text messages that contain pictures.

The text messages function uses shared memory, see

Shared memory

on page

24

.

Note: The picture message function can be used only if it is supported by your
network operator or service provider. Only phones that offer picture message
features can receive and display picture messages.

Writing and sending messages

The number of available characters and the current part number of a multi-part
message are shown on the top right of the display, for example 120/2. Special
(Unicode) characters, such as á, may take up more space in the message than
other characters.
