Read a Text Message
To open an individual text message for reading, do the following:
1
Make sure the folder in which you’ve stored the message is shown in expanded view. (Press the folder name
to expand/collapse the messages contained in the folder.)
2
Use the wheel to highlight the message; a message preview shows in the lower half of the screen. To have
the message display in full-screen view, then press the wheel. Your message contents display in the Read
screen.
3
To dismiss the message and return to the Browse Messages screen, press
Back

About Text Message Folders
Phone Messages uses three “system” folders--Inbox, Sent, and Trash.
Here’s a little more information about each system folder:
•
Inbox
- The Inbox folder is the default drop point for any new messages you receive.
•
Sent
- As you send a text message, the message is displayed in the Sent folder (expanded view), with its
status just to the left. Possible status indicators include: message is being sent (
), message is waiting
to be sent ( ), and message was not sent due to a delivery problem ( ).
Note:
After you send a message, a copy of it remains in the Sent folder until you explicitly delete it.
•
Trash
- Every message you discard from other folders is moved to the Trash folder. Discarded messages
accumulate in the Trash until you explicitly use the menu option to
Empty Trash
. As long as a message
stays in the Trash, however, you can retrieve it. (Read more in
Retrieve Messages from the Trash
on page
115.)
Sort Text Messages
By default, the messages listed in the Browse Messages screen are organized with the newer messages at the
top (ascending order). To change the order in which your messages are displayed in the Browse Messages
screen, do the following:
1
From the Browse Messages screen, press
Menu
and select
Sort...
. The Sort Messages screen opens:
2
Select the sort option you prefer: newer messages at the top or the bottom of the list.

Press

[ ] to save your setting.
