Warning: Do not switch on the phone when wireless phone use is prohibited or when it may cause interference or danger.

You can use the Messages menu (Menu 1) and Short Message Service (SMS) to read, write and send text messages to another phone in your network. You may also be able to use the Minibrowser’s e-mail feature to send text messages to phones in other networks.

display the words Message Sent (where service is available). This is an indication that the message has been sent by your phone to the SMS network.
