Reading and sending messages

The Messaging application shows your messages as conversations, which means all

messages to and from a particular person are grouped together.

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

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

size of added media files, is also provider-dependent. Contact your service provider for more

information.
