Write and send messages
Before you can create a multimedia message or write an
e-mail, you must have the correct connection settings in
place. See ‘Receive MMS and e-mail settings’, p. 47 and
‘E-mail’, p. 53.
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. In the navigation bar, you can see the message
length indicator counting backwards. For example, 10 (2)
means that you can still add 10 characters for the text to
be sent as two messages.
E-mail messages are automatically placed in
Outbox
before sending. If sending does not succeed, the e-mail is
left in the
Outbox
with the
Failed
status.
Tip! You can combine images, video, sound, and text
to a presentation and send it in a multimedia message.
