Messages Menu
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 (depending on the ‘Ring or
Vibrate’ setting).
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.
4 Displays the received message animation together with the word
Message and the prompt; Read Now?
• Press
O
to display the open envelope animation and the
contents of the new message.
• Press
C
to return to the screen that was present before you
received the message.
• Press any other key to perform the function linked to that key.
If you do not press a key, then after 1 minute the display returns
to the screen that was present before you received the message.
