When SMS messages cannot be received
The SMS Center delivers SMS messages to your FOMA phone as soon as they are received. However, if your
FOMA phone is off or out of the service area, the SMS messages will be kept at the Center.

You cannot send SMS messages from the FOMA phone to the i-mode phone of the mova service.

The SMS Center keeps SMS messages for a maximum period of 72 hours. You can set the holding period with “SMS validity period”
(see page 316).

When the holding period expires, SMS messages are deleted automatically.

You can receive SMS messages held at the SMS Center using “Check new SMS” (see page 315).
