SMS Menu
B.1.5 SMS Menu
SMS functions are accessed through the SMS menu. For modems that support a SIM card,
the SIM initialization typically takes longer than the network initialization, resulting in a
noticeable delay before the SMS functions become available.
New
Tapping on the New button opens a dialog for sending a new SMS message. The recipient's
phone number (to be entered in the To: field) can consist of the digits 0 through 9, as well as
the * and # characters, optionally preceded by one + character, indicating an international
number (i.e. the country code follows immediately after the + character).
By checking the Store message in Outbox field a new message can be stored in the Outbox
before being sent. If no storage space is available, or the modem does not support the storage
of outgoing messages, then this checkbox is disabled.
Inbox
Tapping on the Inbox button opens the list of received messages. Reading 50 messages, for
example, from the SIM can take about 30 seconds. By default the list of messages is sorted
with the most recently received message first. The list can be sorted by any other column by
clicking on the corresponding column heading. Clicking the same column heading twice
reverses the sort order. Pressing any letter or digit moves the highlight to the next message
whose address begins with that letter or number.
Note: The date and time formats can be changed through the Region and
Language menu in Control Panel. For a new date or time format to take
effect the Inbox has to be closed and re-opened.
The Open button opens the selected message in a new window such that the entire message
can be read including the original formatting (line breaks are replaced by spaces in the Inbox
