Messages 4. Messages If you have subscribed to a message network service, you can send and receive messages to compatible phones that are also subscribed to a message service. You can also send and receive multimedia and e-mail messages if supported by your network operator. You can make distribution lists that contain phone numbers and names from your contacts list. See "Create distribution lists", p. 14. 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. When composing text or multimedia messages, check the number of characters allowed in the top right corner of the message. Using Unicode characters takes up more space. With Unicode characters in your message, the indicator may not show the message length correctly. Before sending the message, the phone tells you if the message exceeds the maximum length allowed for one message. Important: Exercise caution opening messages. Messages may contain malicious software or otherwise be harmful to your device or PC. Note: When you send a message, your device may display Message sent, indicating your device has sent the message to the message center number programmed into your device. This is not an indication that the message has been received at the intended destination. For more details about messaging services, check with your network operator. ■ Create distribution lists Distribution lists allow you to send text messages to a designated group of people. 1.
