Text messages
Your device supports the sending of text messages beyond the normal 160-character limit. If your message exceeds 160
characters, it will be sent as a series of two or more messages.
In the navigation bar, 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 using special (Unicode) characters such as ë, â, á, ì take up more space.
If there are special characters in your message, the indicator may not show the message length correctly. If
Confirm multipart
messages
is set to
Yes
, then before the message is sent, the device tells you if the message exceeds the maximum length allowed
for one message.
See "Text message settings," p. 32.
