■ Write and send messages
The wireless network may limit the size of MMS messages. If the inserted picture exceeds
this limit, the device may make it smaller so that it can be sent by MMS.
Your device supports the sending of text messages beyond the character limit for a single
message. Longer messages are 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.
Note: Only devices that have compatible features can receive and display
multimedia messages. The appearance of a message may vary depending on the
receiving device.
Before you can send and receive an SMS message, a multimedia message, or an e-
mail, or connect to your remote mailbox, you must have the correct connection
settings in place. See “Messaging settings,” p. 33.
