Numeric Messaging is available

can be displayed directly on your i830. To leave a
numeric message:
• The caller must press “1” during your Voice Mail
greeting.
• Once the caller presses “1” only numeric
messages can be sent.
The phone’s display refers to text and numeric
messages as Text Messages.
These messages can be up to 140 letters or 20
digits long. You can store up to 16 of these
messages. Each message is stamped with the
date and time it was left.
If your phone is powered off when you receive a
message, your phone notifies you the next time
you power it on. If you are out of your coverage
area, your phone alerts you when you return to
your coverage area.
