44 Section 2B: Controlling Your Phone’s Settings
Messaging Settings
Staying connected to your friends and family has never been
easier. With your phone’s advanced messaging capabilities,
you can send and receive many different kinds of text
messages without placing a voice call. (For more information,
See “Using SMS Text Messaging” on page 99.)
Your phone’s messaging settings make text messaging even
faster and easier by letting you decide how you would like to
be notified of new messages, create a signature with each
sent message, and create your own canned messages, to
name just a few.

displaying an icon on your display screen. You can also choose

>
Messaging > Settings > Notification.
2. Select Msg and Icon and press r . (The change
confirmation is displayed.)
