Question: What does “Load” do and why does it not prompt for options or
input?
Answer: The SMS help file indicates this is useful in case of accidental
deletion of messages. The “Load” feature would be a way to recover the
deleted messages, however, this option provides no notification that the task
completed successfully.
Question: What does “Save” do and why does it not prompt for options or
input?
Answer: The help file indicates this keeps the current state of all folders,
except the inbox. However, no notification is sent indicating the “Save”
completed.
Question: I copied a message to the “Outbox”. Why does it not prompt to
enter the recipient?
Answer: Although you can move or copy a message from one folder to
another, including the “Outbox”, the message must have a recipient before
the message can be sent. If the message is copied and/or moved to the
“Outbox”, the message still will not have a recipient, thus leaving the
message unable to be sent. This would be considered the same as a the
“Forward message” feature. The message would remain in the “Outbox”
indefinitely until a destination or destinations are provided. For working
around this, we recommend double-clicking on the message, enter a
recipient, and then click “Send”.
Question: I created an SMS message, but am not connected to GRPS. How
is it possible that the message can be sent?
Answer: Sending SMS does not need a GPRS data connection. As long as it
detects and attaches to the Cingular network, it will able to send SMS.
Question: What is, and what does the function button “Update Address
Book with Phone Book Contents” do?
Answer: When the SIM is installed, it contains a built-in phone book, which
when using this feature, allows the contents of the phone book to be
incorporated into the address book.
