    Let's choose a message
    .
    Press down on one of these messages. It will bring up our message. This is not the most exciting message. But if we want to forward it to a friend. It might be more exciting.

    We can select one, or multiple contacts
    .
    We can create a group, and send it to them. We only want to select one contact. Now, it says the number '1' right next to the word "DONE" on the bottom of the screen. That number shows how many people we are forwarding the message to. We want only one, so we are done. Press down on the word "DONE".

    The contact has been added
    .
    We have the message that we want to forward. All we have to do is send it, by pressing this icon here. It says "Slot 1" in blue, and has the image of a blue text box with three horizontal lines indicating movement. Press down on this, and it will forward our message. It will cost us money because it is an SMS message service of the phone. It's not a free service. Once we press down on this, we have successfully forwarded a message to another contact.
