Sending text messages (SMS) and outgoing list
If you receive a call while you are writing an SMS, the SMS will automatically be saved
in the outgoing list. You can accept the call and finish the SMS later (page 51).
Text messages that could not be sent are assigned an error status (page 62) and are
saved in the incoming list.
SMS messages are saved automatically only where transmission is interrupted.
If you want to save an SMS you have to do so before sending it.
Your telephone line will be engaged while the SMS message is being sent to the SMS
send centre. All handsets will display Sending message!.
Writing SMS messages
An individual SMS may not exceed 160 characters. If your text is longer, it will automat-
ically be sent as a linked SMS. Up to four SMS messages each with 153 characters can
be linked. In other words you can write up to 612 characters. But remember that linking
will increase the charges.
Please bear in mind that service providers cannot relay an SMS text with Greek or
Cyrillic characters. Therefore, if you have set your display language to Russian or Greek,

key ©. Then in the menu, select the entry Select Language and confirm the selection
with [. Now choose as entry language one that uses Latin characters (e.g. Deutsch
or English). Confirm the selection with [ and then briefly press the end call key a
twice to return to the entry field. The setting for the entry language applies only to the
SMS you are writing. You can write an SMS message as follows:
