Text Messages
When the text message network service is available and
you have subscribed to it, your phone can receive and
store text messages. The text message function is a net-
work service and may not be supported by your network.
Also, to use text messaging, you must have the phone
number of your message service center available.
The phone can store up to 30 text messages, with a
maximum of about 1,900 characters for all messages
combined. Contact your network operator for details
about the text messaging service and the maximum
number of characters allowed in a message.
The network may have its own default message that is dis-
played when the phone is in the network coverage area.
This does not prevent the use of your phone in any way.
