This menu allows you to create, send, read and
save messages with the Short Message Service
(SMS: text message) and Enhanced Message
Service (EMS: message including image, animation

Inbox and Outbox share a given amount of memory
in your phone or SIM card. When the message
memory is full, the New Message icon (
) blinks
and an error message displays. It disappears when
you press the
key, but it reappears if you
don’t delete old messages. In this case, you cannot
receive any new messages. You must delete one or
more old messages to make room for new
messages using the
Delete
option within Inbox or
Outbox or the
Delete all
option; for further details,
see page 79.
Inbox
(Menu 1.1)
Your phone receives incoming messages and saves
them in Inbox. SMS and EMS messages are usually
saved in the SIM card, but if the SIM memory is full,
the incoming messages will be saved in the phone’s
memory.
When you receive a new message, the new
Message icon (
) and a text notification showing
the number of the message appear on the display.
You also hear an alert, depending on the message
sound setting; for further details, see page 87.
