Messaging

The Messaging application allows you to exchange text messages (SMS) and multimedia messages (MMS) with your friends on their mobile phones. With the Email application you can read and send email.

SMS and MMS

Text messages: One text message can contain up to 160 characters. You can send a text message of any length, but every 160 characters or portion thereof will be charged as one text message. For recipients, the message will count as just one text message.

Multimedia messages: Multimedia messages make everyday messages extra special. You can record a message and send it as an audio file or send a slideshow of photographs. For example, you can sing "Happy Birthday" to someone, send them a video message, or send photos of a special event.

Email

Your mobile phone puts email at your fingertips, too. Using your Email application, you can add versions of Yahoo!, AOL, and other popular email services to your phone. These kinds of email accounts are known as POP3, IMAP, or Exchange accounts.

Adding an Email Account

When using the Email application for the first time, you must configure your email account. The Email setup wizard helps you set up your account for many popular email systems, so you can read and work with the same email that you do on a computer in a web browser, or with another email application.

You can also set up a Microsoft Exchange ActiveSync account, so you can read and work with the same email that you do when using Microsoft Outlook on a computer.

1.Touch > Email.

2.To customize your email settings, answer the onscreen prompts, and then touch Next. Or touch Manual Setup if you want to set the mail server yourself.
