SIM SMS
Select this folder to display the contents of the SIM Inbox. When Wireless Manager
is running, any new SMS in the SIM Inbox are uploaded to your computer automatically.
The status column displays one of the following icons for each message to indicate
whether the message has been read:

If a new SMS arrives when the Wireless Manager is running, an SMS message icon
is displayed on the Status view and on the Wireless Manager status bar. Additionally,
the SMS audio sound is played if it is enabled in the Settings dialogue box.
Incoming messages are stored to your SIM Inbox, which typically holds 10 - 30 messages.
When the SIM card inbox becomes full, you must move or delete some SMS messages
to free storage space so that you can continue to receive new SMS messages from
