Messaging
Text Message
Short message service (SMS) allows you to send and
receive a short text message to and from other phones.
Multimedia Message
Multimedia Message Service (MMS) is a messaging
service similar to Short Message Service (SMS). It provides
asynchronous delivery of personal multimedia messages.
In addition to the familiar text content of text messages,
multimedia messages can contain images, graphics, video,
and/or sound.
An MMS message is a separate multimedia presentation in
a single entry, not an attachment to the text file.
Using the MMS feature, your phone can receive a
multimedia message and/or send a picture message,
depending on MMS availability from your service provider.
Only phones that support the multimedia message feature
can receive or display the multimedia messages.
Receiving a new message
When you receive a new message, the popup dialog box
displays the number of unread messages and the number
of total messages with the New Message icon ( ) in
the icon area of the LCD display. You also hear an alert,
depending on the message sound setting.
To read the new message(s) immediately, press the [View]
Soft key or the [ o ] key.
Managing memory
The Inbox, Outbox, Drafts, Sent, and Templates share a
given amount of memory on the phone. In the Inbox, text
messages (SMS) can be saved on the phone or the SIM,
depending on the Text Message settings. When "Save to" in
the Text Message settings is set to SIM, received messages
are saved in the phone memory if the SIM capacity is full.
Also, even if "Save to" in the Text Message settings is
set to Phone, received messages are saved in the SIM if
the memory capacity is full. When using the mailboxes,
up to 200 received messages can be saved to the phone
memory. The Inbox can use the SIM memory. Only the
Inbox can use the SIM memory to store text messages
(SMS). When you try to save more than 200 messages in
the mailboxes, a full icon ( ) appears. When a full icon
appears, you cannot receive any new messages. You must
delete one or more of the old messages in order to make
NOTE To clear the new message notification on the display,
press the [Exit] Soft key, the [
e ] key, or the [ c ] key.
