Phone Messages is a two-way text messaging application that lets you send, receive, and reply to short text
messages directly from your phone. It’s fun! Learn all about Phone Messages by reading the topics in this
chapter:
Phone Messages Splash Screen
To open the Phone Messages application, first press Jump, then scroll to highlight the Phone Messages icon in
the left-hand “ring” of applications. You will see the Phone Messages “splash” screen on the right side of the
screen when you’ve highlighted the Phone Messages application icon:
The splash screen shows all your
unread
text messages in the order received, with the
message received
most recently on top
. If you press the wheel to open the Phone Messages application, open any of the unread
messages, then return to the splash screen, you’ll see that the message you’ve opened has disappeared from the
splash screen list.
Note:
Phone Messages messages are text messages that are delivered via the “Short Message Service”, also
referred to simply as “SMS”.
