Warning: Do not switch on the phone when wireless phone
use is prohibited or when it may cause interference or danger.
You can use the Messages menu (Menu 1) and Short Message Service
(SMS) to read, write and send text messages to another phone in your
network. You may also be able to use the Minibrowser’s e-mail
feature to send text messages to phones in other networks.
Important: When sending SMS messages, your phone may
display the words Message Sent (where service is available). This is an indication that
the message has been sent by your phone to the SMS network. This is not an indication
that the message has been received at the intended destination. For more details about
SMS services, check with your service provider.
Note: This function can be used only if it is supported by your network operator or
service provider. Only devices that offer compatible e-mail features can receive and
display messages. It may require a separate subscription.
