Reading and sending messages

The Messaging application shows your messages as conversations, which means

that all messages to and from a particular person are grouped together. To send

multimedia messages, you need the correct MMS settings on your device. See

Internet and MMS settings

on page 33.

The number of characters that you can send in a single message varies depending on the

operator and the language you use. The maximum size of a multimedia message, which

includes the size of added media files, is also operator dependent. Contact your network

operator for more information.
