You can use your phone to send and receive short text messages and e-mail 
if your service provider offers the message feature and if you subscribe to 
the service. Both services are network dependent features, so you must 
consult your service provider.
Message recipients: The phone to which you send a text message must 
support text messages. It may not be possible to send an SMS text message 
to someone’s phone who has an account with a different service provider 
or a phone with a different protocol, but you can send and receive 
 
e-mail messages.
Message length: The maximum length of a text message is 160 characters. 
Your phone has space for several text messages, depending on the length 
 
of each message. The maximum length of a text message depends on the 
capabilities of the network from which the message originated.
When writing text messages, predictive text for fast text entry. For details, 
see 
“Predictive text” on page 28.
  FOLDERS 
Your phone has four folders for managing text messages. 
Inbox—The inbox stores messages you receive. Messages remain in the 
inbox until you delete them or save them in the archive folder.
Sent items—The sent items folder stores messages you have written, sent, 
edited and forwarded. The sent icon appears next to the message 
.
Archive—The archive folder stores messages you want to save.
Templates—The templates folder stores message templates you edit and 
create. A template is like a form letter—a message you can use many times.
