has been received at the intended destination. For more details about messaging

■ 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, such as Chinese, take up more space,
which limits the number of characters that can be sent in a single message.
You can use predefined templates to help you write text messages. Before you can
send any text or e-mail messages, you need to configure the message settings.
See “Message settings,” p. 37.
