Nokia 2160 - Text Messages

Also, to use text messaging, you must have the phone
number of your message service center available. The
phone can store up to 30 text messages, with a
maximum of about 1,900 characters for all messages
combined. Contact your network operator for details
about the text messaging service and the maximum
number of characters allowed in a message.

The network may have its own default message that is
displayed when the phone is in the network coverage
area. This does not prevent the use of your phone in
any way.

space left in the message memory, (nn) NEW TEXT
