Note: Your device supports the sending of text messages beyond the normal
160-character limit. If your message exceeds 160 characters, it will be sent as a
series of two or more messages and 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. Some characters may take more space than
others.
