  1. Enter the recipients at the top
  2. Touch the text box at the bottom to enter the message

    To add an attachment, touch Image 

Note: To send a video in a message, you cannot capture the video from the camera app. You have to access it via Messaging > Attach > Video > Capture Video. This process will reduce the resolution of the video allowing it to be sent.  If you try to attach an existing video you will receive an error message stating video is too large. Those videos can still be shared via Email, You Tube, or transferred to a computer.


No group messaging option

If you are unable to see group messaging options under Message settings, this is most likely caused by a SIM card provisioning error.

To verify go to Settings > About phone > Status > Phone number

If unknown is listed contact your carrier so they can provide details to provision correctly.
