To open the SMS & MMS Messaging application, on the Home

About text and multimedia messages
SMS messages are also know as “text” messages and can each
be around 160 characters. If you continue to type after the limit is
reached, your message will be delivered as one, but count as more
than one message. These are called “concatenated” messages.
MMS messages are also known as “multimedia” or “picture” messages
and can contain text, picture, audio, and video files.
When you compose a message, the phone will automatically con-
vert a text message into a multimedia message as soon as you add
a subject or an attachment, or if you address the message using an
email address rather than a phone number.
View the message from the message list
Select a message thread in the list to open it for reading. When
open, the individual messages appear stacked on the screen, much
like with instant messaging conversations (or chats).
Note that messages you send are also listed in the Read view.
1. Reading multimedia messages
If you have selected to auto-retrieve your multimedia messages,
then both the message header and body will download.
If you are downloading only the headers, then you must first select
the Download button to retrieve the message body. If you are con-
cerned about the size of your data downloads, you can check the
message size before you download.
Once the message has downloaded, select ‘Play’ button to view the
message.
From a message read view, you can do the following:
1. To view details about a particular message, in the Read view, touch
& hold the message to open the context menu. Select View details.
2. Reply to a message: Simply start typing your message in the text
box at the bottom of the screen to reply to a message. You can al-
ways press MENU and select to add a subject or an attachment to
convert it to a multimedia message. Select ‘Send’ when ready.
