If you have subscribed to a messaging service through your wireless provider, you
can send and receive messages to compatible devices that also subscribe to a
compatible message service. You may also be able to send and receive picture
messages and e-mail messages.
Important: Exercise caution opening messages. Messages may contain
malicious software or otherwise be harmful to your device or PC. Do not
open any attachment if you are not sure of the trustworthiness of
the sender.
When sending messages, your device may 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. This is not an indication that the message
has been received at the intended destination. For more details about messaging
services, check with your service provider.

more space than text. Pictures are stored in the templates folder at
