Read linked messages

Your phone can receive one long message (up to 459 characters) in
sequences. You can start reading the first part before the phone has
received the entire message.

While viewing the message, you may see *some text missing* on the
display. This is normal, and the message content will be updated as soon
as the missing sequence arrives.

If the memory is full, you may have to delete a message from your inbox
or outbox before your phone can update the missing text.
