Text messaging

If there is a problem sending a

message the display shows

Failed!

and the handset returns to standby.

Your BT Verve 500 will have 2 further

attempts at sending your message at

10 minute intervals. If the message

fails to be sent on the third attempt

the message

Sending Error

will be

displayed alongside the message in

the Outbox (replacing the time and

date).
If another handset is on the line when

you try to send a text message, you

will see

Line in Use

and the message

will be stored in the Outbox with the

message

Not Sent

. When the line

becomes available your BT Verve 500

will attempt to send the message

again.
When writing a message, if no keypad

button is pressed for 1 minute, the

message will automatically be stored

to the Drafts folder, where you can

retrieve it at a later time.
