communicate by telephone.
Your phone is compatible with select TTY devices. Please check with the manufacturer of your
TTY device to ensure that it is compatible with digital cell phones. Your phone and TTY device

received by public safety answering points (PSAPs), rendering some
communications unintelligible. The problem encountered appears related to
software used by PSAPs. This matter has been brought to the attention of the
FCC, and the wireless industry and the PSAP community are currently working to
resolve this.

Text Messaging and Multimedia Messaging
With messaging, you can send and receive messages between your phone and another
messaging-ready phone. When you receive a new message, it will be automatically displayed
on your phone’s screen.
In addition, messaging includes a variety of preset messages that make composing messages
fast and easy. Use your phone to customize your own preset messages (up to 50 characters).
Text messages can be composed of up to six segments of 160 characters each, for a total of
960 characters per text message. The current segment and total segment count is displayed at
the top of each segment. For example, (5/6) at the top of a segment would indicate you are
viewing segment five of a six-segment message.
Multimedia messages consist of both text and multimedia files, such as pictures or voice
recordings. Outgoing multimedia messages can be up to 600 KB with up to 1000 text characters.
