SHORT MESSAGING SERVICE(SMS)
Your phone can send and receive two types of message services – text (SMS: Short Messaging
Service) and voice - if the services are available from your carrier. If you subscribe to either or
both services, callers can leave you text messages or voice mail. Your service provider then
transmits the text messages and voice mail notifications to your phone.
a. Text Messages
The actual tagging of text messages is dependent on the system used by your carrier. Once
your carrier transmits messages to your phone while it is powered on, the phone will receive the
messages as described below. If your phone is powered off, your carrier stores the messages
and transmits them again at a later time.
When a new text message is received, your phone sounds an alert or vibrates, and
is
shown on the display. After you read the new message,
disappears from the display.
Note) Your phone can store up to TBD text messages or TBD KB.
