Managing memory

Inbox and Outbox share a given amount of memory
in your phone or SIM card. When the message
memory is full, the New message icon (

) blinks

and an error message displays. (It disappears when
you press the

key, but it reappears if you

don’t delete old messages.) In this case, you cannot
receive any new messages. You must delete one or
more old messages to get free memory for new
messages using the Delete option within the Inbox
or Outbox or the Delete all option; for further
details, see page 79.

Inbox

(Menu 1.1.1)

Your phone receives incoming messages and saves
them in the Inbox. SMS is usually saved in the SIM
card, but if the SIM memory is full, the incoming
messages will be saved in the phone’s memory.

When the Inbox menu is selected, the list of
messages received displays with the:

• sender’s phone number, or name if stored in the

Phonebook.

• message status;

for a read message,

for a

message to read or

for an incomplete

message.

To view a message, scroll to it and press the Select
soft key. The screen shows the:

• date and time when the message was received.

• memory where the message was stored;

for

the SIM card or

for the phone’s memory.

• message contents.

Messages

You can scroll to the next or previous message by
pressing the Left or Right key.

To scroll through the message contents, press the
Up or Down key. When you focus on an object that
includes a melody, the melody is played.

You can choose the following options by pressing
the Options soft key:

Delete: allows you to delete the message.

Message reply: allows you to reply by sending a
message.

Call back: allows you to call the sender back.

Cut address: extracts phone numbers, email
addresses or URL addresses in the text, so that you
can call the number or send a message to the
number or save it in your Phonebook.

Send: allows you to send the message to another
person.

Edit: allows you to edit the message.

Extract media: you can save media (except the
predefined EMS animations and sounds) from the
message into Media box. You can use these items
when writing a message; for further details, see
page 77.

Transfer: allows you to transfer the message from
the SIM card to the phone’s memory.
