10. Messaging
Contact Verizon for more details about messaging services.
You can send and receive messages to compatible phones also
subscribed to a message service, send and receive e-mail
messages, and make distribution lists that contain phone
numbers and names from your contacts list.
Your device supports the sending of text messages beyond the
character limit of a single message. Longer messages are sent
as a series of two or more messages. Your service provider may
charge accordingly. Characters that use accents or other marks,
and characters from some language options like Spanish, take
up more space limiting the number of characters that can be
sent in a single message.
When composing text 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.
Note: When sending messages, your device will display
Message sent
. This is an indication that the message
has been sent by your device to the message center
number programmed into your device. For messages
that fail, the network will create a new error message,
explaining why the message was not delivered.
