Write and send messages

Select Menu > Messaging.

Important: Exercise caution when opening messages. Messages may contain

malicious software or otherwise be harmful to your device or PC.
Before you can create a multimedia message or write a mail, you must have the

correct connection settings defined.
The wireless network may limit the size of MMS messages. If the inserted picture

exceeds this limit, the device may make it smaller so that it can be sent by MMS.
Only devices that have compatible features can receive and display multimedia

messages. The appearance of a message may vary depending on the receiving

device.
Check the size limit of mail messages with your service provider. If you attempt to

send a mail message that exceeds the size limit of the mail server, the message is

left in the Outbox folder, and the device attempts to resend it periodically. Sending
