Text messages
Your device supports the sending of text messages
beyond the character limit for 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 Chinese,
take up more space limiting the number of characters
that can be sent in a single message.
In the navigation bar, the message length indicator
counts backwards from 160. For example, 10 (2) means
that you can still add 10 characters to send the text as
two messages.
