Features
This section contains information on the Short
Messaging Service (SMS). This feature lets you
receive “text” messages, which are stored in your
phone 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 following display appears. The first line
indicates message type and priority. If the message is urgent, the
message type is flanked 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.”
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.
If the memory becomes full
The phone issues a warning when the memory is 75% full. At
this point, you should erase expendable messages (see page 72).
If the memory becomes completely full or your phone does not
have enough memory to receive an incoming message, new
messages are rejected and the following display appears.
