Text Messages
and Pages
When the text message network service is available and
youve subscribed to it, your phone can receive and store
text messages and pages. Contact your service provider
for details on how to send text messages to your phone.
The maximum length of a text message is 160 characters.
Your phone has space for up to 30 text messages,
depending on the length of each message. The network
may have its own default message that is displayed when
your phone is in the network coverage area. This does not
prevent the use of your phone in any way.
