Yes, with some restrictions. When you send Enhanced Text Messages to non-EMS capable phones, all EMS features will be removed. All inserted graphics or sounds will be deleted as will any International text characters or text formatting. Also, messages greater than 160 characters will be segmented into individual messages up to 160 characters in length. The non-EMS subscriber receiving multiple message segments will only be billed for a single message received. Note: The following non-EMS phones may not properly convert an EMS message to an SMS message: Audiovox 8100, 8300, 9155, 9500, Thera; Kyocera 860; LG 510, VX1, VX10, 2000; Samsung N 150, T 300, N 370, A 310, A 530; Sharp Z-800; Sierra Wireless Air Card 555; Sony Ericsson 1228, T 60; Palm Treo 600, 650 The message received by the non-enhanced text messaging phone will be unreadable. Both sender and recipient will be charged for unreadable messages.
