SMS and MMS
To send an SMS (text message), select the Messaging function via the App menu or using the shortcut on the Home screen.
When you have opened the Messaging function, specify the recipient(s) by entering their name(s) in the text box at the top of the screen or by pressing on the icon at the side of the box (this will take you to your contacts list, where you can select the desired recipient). If the recipient’s number is not stored in your Phonebook, simply enter it directly into the text box.
You can also use the Messaging function to send an MMS (multimedia message).
To do so, simply press the + icon located to the left of the box in which you will write the body of your message. Pressing this icon will bring up a variety of multimedia options you can attach to the message in order to convert it into an MMS:
· Record image
· Record video
· Record audio
· Contact
· Gallery image
· Gallery video
· Audio
· Presentation
Text messages are limited to a maximum of 140 characters per message. You can write longer texts, and they will be sent as a single message; however, for billing purposes your network operator will treat them as several messages. In contrast, there is no limit to the text you can send with an MMS, once you have attached the multimedia file.
Once you have specified the recipient, written your text message and (in the case of an MMS) attached the file, simply press the Send icon located to the right of the text and your message will be sent.
