Text message sending and the draft message list
If a call arrives while you are writing a message, then the message is automatically
saved to the draft message list. You can take the call and finish writing the message
later (page 41).
Text messages that cannot be sent are assigned an error status (page 52) and are placed
in the incoming message list.
Text messages are only stored automatically if sending is interrupted.
If you wish to store a message then you have to do so before it is sent.
Your phone line is busy while your text message is being transmitted to the SMS send
centre. The message SMS being sent is displayed on all handsets.

incurs higher charges.
