5. Messaging

If you have subscribed to a message network service, you can send
and receive messages to compatible phones that also subscribe to a message
service. You can also send and receive multimedia messages and e-mail.
Messaging features are network services.

Important: Exercise caution opening messages. Messages may contain
malicious software or otherwise be harmful to your device or PC.

Note: When sending messages, your device will display

Message Sent

.

This is an indication that the message has been sent by your device to
the message center number programmed into your device. For messages
that fail, the network will create a new error message, explaining why
the message was not delivered. Contact Verizon for more details about
messaging services.

TXT messaging

When composing TXT or enhanced (EMS) messages, the number of characters
used (out of a maximum of 160 per message) appears in the top right corner of
the message screen. Segments are created when the message length exceeds
160 characters. The number of segments used (out of a maximum of 7) appears
in the top left corner of the message screen. No additional text can be entered
when all segments and characters have been used. Segments are delivered as
individual messages.

The use of special characters takes up more space than standard characters.

E-mail addresses are counted as characters. EMS messages cannot be sent to
e-mail addresses.

For information on entering text into messages, see "Text entry," p. 17.

PIX and FLIX messaging

PIX and FLIX messages are multimedia (MMS) messages that can contain text,
sound, a picture, and a video clip. Your device supports PIX messages that are up
to 300 KB and FLIX messages that are up to 200 KB. If the maximum size is
exceeded, your device may not be able to receive the message. Depending upon
your network, you may receive a message that includes an Internet address
where you can go to view the PIX and FLIX messages.

Pictures are scaled to fit the display area of the device. Your device has a PIX and
FLIX message viewer for playing messages. Incoming messages reside in the

Inbox

until the user deletes or saves them. Once you save the PIX and FLIX message, you
can use the image as a screen saver or wallpaper, or use the sound as a ringtone,
unless protected by copyright. See "PIX and FLIX," p. 20.

Only compatible devices that offer picture or video message features can receive
and display PIX and FLIX messages. The appearance of PIX and FLIX messages may
vary depending on the receiving device.

Copyright protections may prevent some images, ringing tones, and other content
from being copied, modified, transferred, or forwarded. Contact Verizon for the
availability of and a subscription to the multimedia messaging service.

PIX and FLIX messaging supports the following formats:

Picture: JPEG, GIF, animated GIF, BMP, and PNG

Sound: AAC/AAC, MIDI, iMelody, QCELP, EVRC, AMR, ADPCM

Video: clips in MPEG4, H263

If a received message contains unsupported elements, these elements may be
replaced with

Object format not supported

.

You can receive multimedia message notification, but cannot receive multimedia
messages if you have a call in progress or other applications running, or you are in
an active browsing session. Because delivery of multimedia messages can fail for a
variety of reasons, do not rely solely upon them for essential communications.
