Sending options for SMS messages

opts.
Smaller or larger fonts?
When writing a message, you can choose between smaller or larger fonts. Press Options, and scroll to Small fonts (or Large fonts) and press Select.
Multi-part text messages
The Nokia 2300 allows you to write a message that is up to several
times the limit of an ordinary message.
You can write and send multi-part text messages (network service).
Sending multi-part messages may affect the invoicing for the message. If
you use special (Unicode) characters, more parts may be needed for the message
than would otherwise be required. Note that predictive text input may use
Unicode characters. Furthermore, you can view the number of SMS messages
sent from your phone with the Message
counter.
Daily help
Wake up with your favorite music
Press Menu, and select Alarm clock, and select Alarm tone to select the radio. The phone uses the latest channel you listened to as an alarm tone via loudspeaker.
Loud, silent or just discreet?
Are you often outdoors or in a noisy environment? Do you often miss phone calls because you did not hear the ringing tone? Go to Profiles and select Loud – it may help. You can even personalize the profile – perhaps you’d prefer a particularly noisy ringing tone?
Message as a reminder
Did you get a message about an important meeting? Set it as a reminder. When reading the message, press Options and select As reminder. Select Alarm on or Alarm off as you please.
