3 Write the message.
Note: Your phone supports sending of multiple text messages at the same
time, therefore, the normal 160 characters limit for one text message can be
exceeded. If your text exceeds 160 characters, it will be sent in two or more
messages and message sending may cost you more.
In the navigation bar, you can see the message length indicator counting backwards
from 160. For example, 10 (2) means that you can still add 10 characters for the text
to be sent as two messages.
