Section 6: Messaging
This section describes how to send or receive different types

associated with messaging.
Types of Messages
Your phone provides the following message types:
• Text Messages

• Email and Gmail Messages
• Google Hangouts
• Messenger
The Short Message Service (SMS) lets you send and receive
text messages to and from other mobile phones or email
addresses. To use this feature, you may need to subscribe to
your service provider’s message service.
The Multimedia Messaging Service (MMS) lets you send and
receive multimedia messages (such as picture, video, and

addresses. To use this feature, you may need to subscribe to
