Your phone supports the two GSM message features: Short
Message Services (SMS) and Cell Broadcast.
SMS Messages
These are text messages that are sent specifically to and from
your phone number.
When an SMS message is received, your phone:
1 Makes three short alert tones ).
2 Displays the
o
(messages) icon.
3 Stores the message for later viewing, if there is space. If there
is not enough space, the
o
icon will flash. One or more
messages must be removed before the message can be
stored.
Your Cellular Service Provider will transmit a message for a
limited amount of time. If a memory location is not made
available before the message is removed from the network, then
you will not be able to receive or read it.
Cell Broadcast Messages
These are general messages, broadcast to a group of phones and
can only be received when your phone is in standby mode.
These messages are broadcast in numbered 'channels' and, in
general, each channel will tend to carry one particular type of
information.
Typical cell broadcast channels could have information on local
weather conditions, traffic reports or stock market prices. Please
contact your network operator for a list of available channels and
the information they supply.
When the message has scrolled across the display, the beginning
of the message will be shown until you either remove it or a new
message arrives.

messages in either the Received Messages or Outgoing Messages
lists.
