Sending and Receiving Text Messages
A very convenient feature of your Ericsson I 888 WORLD
is the Short Message Service (SMS). This allows you to
send and receive text messages consisting of up to 160
characters.
Using the Short Message Service, you do not have to
worry about whether the people you want to reach
check their answering machines or not. As soon as they
turn on their phone, the message will be waiting for
them.
Text messages can be received when the phone is in
standby mode, during a call or when incoming calls are
diverted to another phone number. If the recipient’s
phone is turned off when a message is sent, a notifying
message will be displayed soon after the phone is
turned on.
Apart from sending standard messages to phones, your
Ericsson I 888 WORLD is also prepared for sending fax
messages (group 3 and 4), X400 messages, e-mails and
telexes, via the Short Message Service. Check with your
network operator which message types you can use
and how.
Tip!
Your I 888 WORLD comes with the
Mobile Office Suite
software. The Mobile Office Suite makes it possible for
you to write and read SMS messages on your computer.
For more information on how this is done, please see
the chapter ‘The Mobile Office Suite’.
Note!
The Short Message Service may not be available in all
networks.
Two Memories
The Messages Memory
If you do not want to read an incoming message at
once, it is automatically stored in the Messages
memory in the phone. This allows you to read it later
on.
If there are any unread incoming messages in the
messages memory, a letter icon (
Mm
) will appear to the
left at the bottom of the display.
The Messages memory can hold up to 10 messages.
When all memory positions are full, the oldest read
message will be overwritten when a new message is re-
ceived.
If the Messages memory becomes full with unread
messages, new messages will automatically be stored
in the SIM card memory. If the SIM card memory
becomes full, the letter icon (
Mm
) starts blinking.
Messages remain in the Messages memory until you
erase them (see ‘Erasing a Message,), until you insert a
different SIM card, or until the telephone needs the
memory space to store new messages
The SIM Card Memory
If you receive an important message and want to make
sure it is not erased from the messages memory, you
can store it in a memory on your SIM card. This means
that you can retrieve the message regardless of which
phone you use. Messages that are saved in the SIM card
memory remain there until you erase them.
If the SIM card memory becomes full, the letter icon
(
Mm
) starts blinking.
