a. When sending a message to an email address from a 9505 handset, because the 160 character limit applies to the entire body of the messages and because the destination email address is in the body of the message, the space available for the actual message is less than 160 characters.
b. When the 9505 handset displays "Message Sent", this means that the message was successfully delivered to the Iridium SMS Center. The Iridium SMS Center will then attempt to deliver the message to the email account or Iridium subscriber. The delivery can still fail if, for example, the email account is invalid or if the Iridium subscriber does not turn on his phone for 8 days or more. No additional notification is sent back to the originator in the case of downstream delivery failure.
