Short Message Service The Short Message Service (SMS) enables you to send and receive short messages over the digital wireless system. Short messages can be sent or received even during voice, data, and fax calls. Messages can be read in any mobile phone that has the capability. If the receiving phone is switched off at the time of sending, the short message center continues to attempt to send the message until the validity period allowed by the system expires. Note: If you want to send text you have written or edited in another application as a short message, all embedded objects or any rich formatting will be lost. You cannot send attachments as short messages, either. Write and send a new short message Note: You cannot change the font, style or format of short messages. 1 Press Write short message in the main view of Messaging. The SMS editor opens, see Figure 83. 201 Tip: Your service provider may send you smart messages in the form of short messages; these messages may include, for example, configuration settings. For details, contact your service provider. Tip: When sending a short message that contains special or accented characters to an older mobile phone, the older phone may not be able to view the message. In this case, send the message without special or accented characters. Messaging Figure 83
