Using the Messaging
application
You can use the Messaging application to
send and receive brief text messages
(SMS) and multimedia messages (MMS).
Before you use your smartphone to send or
receive messages, consult your wireless
service provider for pricing and availability
of text and multimedia messaging
services.
Creating and sending a text message
Each text message can have up to 160
characters. You can send a message of
more than 160 characters, but the
message will automatically be split into
several messages. If you send a text
message to an email address, the email
address is deducted from the
160-character count.
BEFORE YOU BEGIN Make sure that your
phone is on and that you’re inside a
coverage area (see Turning your phone on
).
1 Press Start and select Messaging.
2 Press New (left action key).
3 Enter the recipient’s name, mobile
phone number, or email address. Here
are some shortcuts:
• If the recipient’s name and mobile
number are in your Contacts list, type
the first few letters of the first or last
name or simply enter the first initial,
followed by a space, and then the last
initial to find a name.
• Press Center to view a list of
recently used addresses, and select
the recipient from the list. Select Add

YOU
KNOW
?
You can send and receive text
messages even while you are on a phone call.
This is easiest when using a hands-free
headset or the speakerphone.
