Features
This section contains information on the Short Messaging Service (SMS).
This feature may allow you receive “text” messages as long as there are
enough memory locations available.
Contact your service provider to see if this service is available in your area.
Receiving messages
To receive messages, the phone must be turned on. The phone supports
three types of messages: “MESSAGE” indicates a text message; “PAGE”
typically contains only digits; “VOICE MAIL” is a voice mail notification
and indicates the number of new voice mail messages stored in your
voice mailbox.
When you receive a message
The message icon ( ) appears on the display accompanied by audible
alerts. The first line indicates message type and priority. If the message is
urgent, the message type is surrounded by asterisks (*) and followed by
an exclamation mark (!). If you press any key, this display disappears.
The message icon (
) remains displayed as long as there are unread
messages.
Tip
If you receive duplicate messages, the phone deletes the older one and
stores the new one with the indication “DUPLICATE”.
Checking message storage capacity
Voice mail messages
Voice mail messages are stored remotely by your service provider. Your
phone will simply notify you if you have any voice mail messages.
Check with your service provider to find out the maximum number and
length of voice mail messages that can be stored.
Text messages and pages
A text message must contain at least one character and can be up to 200
characters long. The number of messages that can be stored depends on
the size of the messages. You can store approximately 7 large messages
or 22 small messages.
WARNING
When you receive a new message and your phone does not have enough
memory to store it, the phone automatically erases old messages that are
not locked.
