Note: Your phone supports sending of multiple short messages at the same time,
therefore, the normal 160 characters limit for one short message can be
exceeded. If your text exceeds 160 characters, it will be sent in two or more
messages and message sending may cost you more.

Exit

In the navigation bar, you can see the message length indicator counting backwards
from 160. For example, 10 (2) means that you can still add 10 characters for the text
to be sent as two messages.
Note: Using special (Unicode) characters such as ë, â, á, ì takes up more space.
If you are using special characters in your message the indicator may not show
the message length correctly. Before the message is sent, the phone tells you if
the message exceeds the maximum length allowed for one message. You can
cancel sending by pressing
Cancel
.
