Messages are arranged in a list by date received. If the person who sent you the
message is in your contacts, the phone will speak the sender’s name. If not, the ODIN
VI will speak the sender’s phone number. Either way, the phone will also speak the
date that the message was sent.
To listen to a message, use the navigation arrows to highlight the message you wish to
read and press OK. The message will now be read aloud, including the precise time it
was received. To have the phone repeat the message, press the repeat button on the
edge of the phone. Press the round End button to go back to your list of messages or
press the OK button to reply to the message, or the square Call button to make a
phone call to the message sender.
