• Messages

Before sending messages, you must set your message settings.
For more information, see “Message settings” on page 23.

Linked messages

Your phone can send and receive long text messages (network service). Text
messages that exceed 160 characters are automatically split into multiple
messages and sent as a series. The series of messages is linked by the compatible
phone when received and displayed as a single SMS message. For this feature to
work properly, the receiving phone must also support linked messages.

While you write a message, the number of available characters and the current
part number of linked message (for example, 120/2) are shown in the top right
corner of the display.

If there are special characters in your message, the indicator may not show the
message length correctly. Before the message is sent, the Nokia 2651 phone
tells you if the message exceeds the maximum length allowed for one message.
To cancel sending, select Cancel; or save the message in the Drafts folder.

Write messages

To send a message, the phone number of your message center must be saved in
the phone. See “Message settings” on page 23.

1

Select Menu > Messages > Create message, and enter the message.

The number of available characters and the current part number are shown
on the top right of the display.
