Receiving a Text Message
Note:
You must set up the text message inbox before you can
receive text messages. See “Setting Up the Text Message Inbox”
on page 109.
When you receive a new message, your phone displays the
X
(message waiting) indicator and a
!
notification,
and gives an alert. If reminders are turned on, your phone sends
a reminder every five minutes until you close the new message
notification, read the message, or turn off your phone. (See
“Reminders” on page 144.)
From the new message notification:
As memory space for storing messages gets close to full, the
X
(message waiting) indicator flashes and your phone displays
$<=
when you receive a new message. When no
more messages can be stored, your phone displays
7-=
and the network temporarily holds your new messages.
Reading, Locking, or Deleting a Text
Message
You can open your text message inbox to read, lock, or delete
messages at any time.
Messages in the text message inbox are sorted from newest to
oldest. The oldest messages are deleted as new ones are added.
If you want to save a message, you should lock it to prevent it
from being overwritten as new messages are received.
