Sending and Receiving Text Messages
This chapter describes SMS, what you need to do before you can send messages, how you send messages, and how you read messages. This service is network dependent.
Text Messages
The Short Message Service (SMS) function allows you to send and receive text messages that contain up to 160 characters. Text messages can be received when the phone is in standby mode, when you are en- gaged in a call, or when incoming calls are diverted to another phone number. Also, if you have had your phone turned off for a while the network will keep track of the message and send it to your phone as soon as it is turned on.
After a message is received, it is left in the phone’s memory. The message remains in the phone’s memory until you read it. You can even turn off the phone and the message will remain intact. If you, on the other hand, change SIM Card, you will lose the unread mes- sage. This is because messages should be personal.
Note! You need to set the service center number bef- ore you can send any messages. If you only want to receive messages, you do not need to do anything.
