Replying to a message

Note: This feature is only available if your phone has been activated in a wireless system that supports the sending of text messages.

With the message displayed, press Options, scroll to Reply and press OK. Then write your reply and send the message as you normally would.

If a phone number appears in the message you received, it’s used as the default for the reply you’re sending. This can be replaced by another number, if you wish.

Receiving a page

Your phone will display Message received. The message will display Call:, followed by the name or number of the person who paged you. Names will appear only if that person has been stored in the phone book.

When your phone’s memory is full

One or more messages, of lowest priority, will automa- tically be deleted in order to receive new text messages when your phone’s memory is full.

If the message memory is still full, your phone will display No space: message waiting. You can clear this notification by pressing OK.

Note: Messages are usually deleted from your Inbox. An incoming emergency message may delete messages from your Saved folder.

Touch tones

Your phone can generate various sounds, called touch tones, when the keys are pressed. These are also known as DTMF tones.

Touch tones can be used for many automated, over-the- phone services such as checking bank balances, airline arrival and departure times, and using voice mailbox op- tions. Touch tones can be sent only when a call is active.
