Messages
The menu »Messages concerns SMS text messages which you can both send and receive, broadcast messages that you can only receive (from your network), and finally a voice mail function where you can listen to your voice mails.
Entering this menu thus gives you the following features:
Inbox The SMSs you receive are automatically stored under »Inbox. Select the SMS and scroll through it by using the arrow keys.
• Direct access to your inbox
When you receive a new SMS the
symbol 
appears in the middle of your display, and you can get direct access to your inbox simply
by pressing 
.
The SMS indicator 
will be shown in the upper side of your standby display as long as you have one or more unread messages.
• Immediate SMS
Your network might send you some or all your SMS as immediate SMS. An immediate SMS will appear directly in your display when received, and you can then select »VIEW« to read the SMS or »CLEAR« to reject and delete it. An immediate SMS will not be auto- matically stored, but if you select »VIEW«, you get the option of sav- ing it by selecting »SAVE«.
Outbox If you choose to have out- going SMSs stored automatically, you can find them again under »Outbox«. This requires that you enter the Setup menu (42) and acti- vate »Save outgoing SMS«.

In addition to reading an SMS in your inbox and outbox, you can select the SMS, press »OPTION« and:
•delete it
•send a reply (only in inbox)

Press »SEND« to send your message.
To send an SMS, certain parame- ters have to be specified (name and number of service centre, validity time for the SMS). On most SIM cards these specifications have already been made by the network operator.
If these parameters have not been specified, you should enter the Setup menu (p. 41) to do so once and for all – otherwise you will be asked for a specification each time you wish to send a message.
