used for both the incoming and outgoing message lists. If the memory is full, the mes-

longer require from the incoming and outgoing message lists.
You can check how much capacity your SMS memory has left (in %).

Sending a text message and the outgoing message list

Information on writing and sending a text message
If you are interrupted as you are writing (by a call, an incoming text message or because
the handset switches to idle status because of prolonged inactivity), the text message is
automatically stored in the outgoing message list. You can continue writing the text
message later (page 40).
Text messages that cannot be sent are assigned an error status (page 47) and are placed
in the incoming message list.
Text messages are only stored automatically if sending is interrupted. If you wish to
store a message then you must do so before it is sent.

Remember that some service providers will bill you for a cancelled call
to the SMS centre.
Writing text messages
A single text message can be up to 160 characters long. If your text is longer, it will
automatically be sent as a linked message. Up to four messages with 153 characters
each can be linked. This means you can enter up to 612 characters. Bear in mind that
linked messages incur correspondingly higher charges.
Remember that the service provider cannot deliver a text message that contains Greek
or Cyrillic characters. You will therefore need to choose a different input language.
When you have opened the input field for the text message, press the
From the menu, select Select Language and then press
