Text messages
Your phone supports sending and receiving multi-part messages, which consist of
several ordinary text messages (network service). Invoicing is based on the
number of ordinary messages that are required for a multi-part message.
You can also send and receive text messages that contain pictures. Each picture
message is made up of several text messages. Therefore, sending one picture
message may cost more than sending one text message.
