Inboxes
Inboxes are containers that receive incoming messages transmit-
ted to your PageWriter 2000X Two-Way Wireless Communications
Center. Three types of inboxes automatically organize the messag-
es for you: Main Inbox, information services, and personal.
The Main Inbox receives general messages that are sent to your
pager. You can set message alerts and assign a cleanup schedule
to help maintain the contents, however, the Main Inbox cannot be
renamed, have routing rules assigned, nor be deleted.
Routing rules are specific keywords or text strings that your
PageWriter 2000X Two-Way Wireless Communications Center
looks for in incoming messages. You can identify keywords or
text strings for personal inboxes. When keywords or text strings
are found, the message is placed in the appropriate inbox.
Information services inboxes receive subscriber messages, such as
world news, financial updates, and sports scores. Information
services inboxes can only be created, renamed, or deleted by the
information service provider. Changing information service inbox-
es requires a software change that is completed over-the-air (OTA)
or at a service center by the service provider.
Personal inboxes are inboxes that you can create to receive specific
types of messages. Incoming messages are automatically routed to
your personal inboxes based upon the routing rules you assigned
for each inbox. The number of incoming messages is reported when
you view the inbox. You can create, rename, or delete personal
inboxes at any time.
