Messaging Settings
Staying connected to your friends and family has never been easier. With
your phone’s advanced messaging capabilities, you can send and receive
many different kinds of text messages without placing a voice call. (For
more information, see “Accessing Messaging” on page 179.)
Your phone’s messaging settings make text messaging even faster and
easier by letting you decide how you would like to be notified of new
messages, create a signature with each sent message, and create your
own canned messages, to name just a few.
