an alert asking you if you want to accept the message. To set this up, do the following:

Menu
then select
Settings
. The Settings screen appears.

The
Show “Accept Message” Dialog Box
section is at the top of the screen. If you want to see the dialog
box when someone not on your Buddy List sends you a message, scroll to highlight the check box, then press
the wheel to select it. If you want to turn off Accept Message, clear the check box by highlighting the check
box, then press the wheel to clear it.
