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. In the navigation bar, you can see the message
length indicator counting backwards. For example, 10 (2)
means that you can still add 10 characters for the text to
be sent as two messages.

E-mail messages are automatically placed in

Outbox

before sending. If sending does not succeed, the e-mail is
left in the

Outbox

.

Tip! In

Messaging

you can also create presentations

and send them in a multimedia message. In the
multimedia message editor view, select

Options

>

Create presentation

(shown only if

MMS creation

mode

is set to

Guided

or

Free

). See ‘Multimedia

messages’, p. 62.

Tip! When you send a multimedia message to an

e-mail address or a device that supports the receiving
of large images, use the larger image size. If you are not
sure of the receiving device, or the network does not
support sending large files, it is recommended that you
use a smaller image size or a sound clip that is no
longer than 15 seconds. To change the setting, select

main view.

Note: The indicators showing that the
message has been sent indicate 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.
