Your device supports the sending of text messages beyond the character limit for a single message. Longer messages will be
sent as a series of two or more messages. Your service provider may charge accordingly. Characters that use accents or other
marks, and characters from some language options like Chinese, take up more space limiting the number of characters that
can be sent in a single message.
The message length indicator at the top of the display shows the total number of characters left and the
number of messages needed for sending. For example, 673/2 means that there are 673 characters left and that
the message will be sent as a series of two messages.
