Messages Your phone is able to send and receive text and picture messages to compatible phones and other devices. If a text message exceeds 160 characters, it is broken up and delivered in separate messages, which incur additional cost. Before you learn to send text messages, it's best to cover the basics of composing a message using the various text entry modes of Abc, Symbol, 123, and T9 Word. Available memory is shared between all messages. You can store up to 50 incoming and 50 outgoing messages. The exact number that you can store is dependent upon message length. Text entry modes You can compose text messages made up of alphabetical characters, symbols, and numbers. Each method of character entry (symbol, number, etc.) is called a text entry mode. There are four such entry modes as indicated in the following table: Text Entry Mode Function ABC Sym 123 T9 Word Alphabetical text entry mode. Options are: ABC - All uppercase Abc - Initial caps abc - All lower case Symbol entry mode. Enter symbols into your message by pressing the corresponding number that appears above it in the display. Number entry mode. Enter numbers by pressing the corresponding key on the keypad. Predictive text mode. Press each key only once to enter the letter of the word that you're spelling. 58
