Text messages (SMS)

Your device supports the sending and receiving of text messages beyond the
normal 160-character limit. If your message, which also can contain pictures,
exceeds 160 characters, it will be sent as a series of two or more messages
(multipart message). Invoicing may be based on the number of ordinary messages
that are required for a multipart message.

At the top of the display, you can see the message length indicator counting
backwards from 160. For example, 10/2 means that you can still add 10 characters
for the text to be sent as two messages. Note that special (Unicode) characters
such as ë, â, á, ì take up more space.

Before you can send a message, you must save some message settings. See
