New SMS If you want to send a
new SMS:
Once you have selected »New
SMS« you can start entering
your message using the keypad
in the same way as you enter a
name in the phone book (p. 12).
End your SMS by pressing
»OK«.
Select »Send SMS« by press-
ing »OK«.
Enter the phone number you
want to send the SMS to or
select one from your phone
book using .
Press »SEND« to send your
message.
To send an SMS, certain parame-
ters have to be specified (name
and number of service centre,
validity time for the SMS). On most
SIM cards these specifications
have already been made by the
network operator.
If these parameters have not been
specified, you should enter the
Setup menu (p. 41) to do so once
and for all – otherwise you will be
asked for a specification each time
you wish to send a message.
Facts & Tips
• Read about the message tones in
the Setup menu p. 37.
• You can always see if a received
SMS has been read or not. If the
SMS is unread, the SMS indicator
is displayed above the message.
• If the SMS indicator is flashing,
it indicates that the SMS memory is
full. You will then have to delete some
or all of your SMS.
• When you have entered a new SMS
and accepted by pressing »OK« you
can also choose to save it and send it
later on. Saved SMSs will be stored in
»Outbox«.
• If while writing an SMS you are
interrupted by a call, your SMS will be
automatically stored in »Outbox«.

Messages
The menu »Messages concerns
SMS text messages which you can
both send and receive, broadcast
messages that you can only receive
(from your network), and finally a
voice mail function where you can
listen to your voice mails.
Entering this menu thus gives
you the following features:
Inbox The SMSs you receive are
automatically stored under »Inbox.
Select the SMS and scroll through
it by using the arrow keys.
• Direct access to your inbox
When you receive a new SMS the
symbol appears in the middle
of your display, and you can get
direct access to your inbox simply
by pressing .
The SMS indicator will be
shown in the upper side of your
standby display as long as you have
one or more unread messages.
• Immediate SMS
Your network might send you some
or all your SMS as immediate SMS.
An immediate SMS will appear
directly in your display when
received, and you can then select
»VIEW« to read the SMS or
»CLEAR« to reject and delete it. An
immediate SMS will not be auto-
matically stored, but if you select
»VIEW«, you get the option of sav-
ing it by selecting »SAVE«.
Outbox If you choose to have out-
going SMSs stored automatically,
you can find them again under
»Outbox«. This requires that you
enter the Setup menu (42) and acti-
vate »Save outgoing SMS«.
Options with SMS
In addition to reading an SMS in
your inbox and outbox, you can
select the SMS, press »OPTION«
and:
• delete it
• send a reply (only in inbox)
• forward it to another phone
number
• edit it before sending it (again)
• call the sender (only in inbox).
