30 - Text and multimedia messages TEXT AND MULTIMEDIA MESSAGES This chapter shows you how to set up and use the Messenging app on your phone to send text (SMS) messages. All SMS and MMS messages are accessed via Messenging. Messenging automatically arranges received and sent messages into threads. To access Messenging, open the Apps list or tap Messenging on the Home screen. Note If you have multiple SIMs inserted in the phone, you will need to decide which SIM to use before sending the message. You will be able to see which SIM is the current SIM from the compose text box. To change SIM, tap and hold the send icon. See SIM Management on page 53 for more information. Creating a new message You can use your phone to compose text (SMS) and multimedia (MMS) messages. 1. Tap to compose a new message. 2. Tap to add contacts from your contacts list, or tap the Type name or number field to enter the recipient's phone number or name directly. Suggested contacts will be displayed in a dropdown list below the text field. To select a suggested contact, tap the contact's name. 3. Enter your message in the text box labeled Type text message. Note Text messages may be up to 160 characters long. If your message is longer than 160 characters, it will be sent as multiple linked messages. Most phones will automatically join the linked messages to present the recipient with a single long message, however, some older phones do not have this ability.
