The SMS allows you to send and receive text messages consisting of up to 160
characters.
Text messages can be received when the phone is in standby mode, when the
recipient is engaged in a call or when incoming calls are forwarded to another
phone number. If the recipient’s phone is turned off when a message is sent, a
notifying message is displayed shortly after the phone is turned on.
Apart from sending standard messages to phones, your phone can fax mes-
sages (group 3 and 4), and send e-mails via SMS.
SMS is available in GSM mode only. You can, however, read, compose and save
messages in Satellite mode. You can retrieve and send them when you return
to GSM mode.
Two Memories
Your phone has two memories where text messages are stored: Message mem-
ory and SIM card memory.
The Messages Memory
If you do not want to read an incoming message at once, it is automatically
stored in the Messages memory. If there are any unread incoming messages in
the messages memory, a letter icon (icon) is displayed.
The Messages memory can hold up to 10 messages. When all memory posi-
tions are occupied, the oldest read message will be overwritten when a new
message is received.
If the Messages memory becomes full with unread messages, new messages
will automatically be stored in the SIM card memory. If the SIM card memory
becomes full, the letter icon starts blinking.
Messages will remain in the Messages memory until you erase them, until you
insert a different SIM card, or until read messages are overwritten by new mes-
sages. (See “Erasing a Phone Number” on page 62.)
The SIM Card Memory
If you receive an important message and want to make sure it is not erased
from the messages memory, you can store it on your SIM card. Messages that
are saved in the SIM card memory will remain there until you erase them, even
if you transfer your SIM card to another phone.
Setting the Phone for Text Messaging
In order to reply to received messages you will need the phone number to your
network. If it cannot be retrieved from your SIM card, you must specify the
number yourself.
