Sending And Receiving 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 stand-by mode, when you are engaged 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, which works similar to a computer’s working 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 message. This is because messages should be personal.

NOTE:

You need to set the service centre number before you can send any messages. If you only want to receive messages, you do not need to do anything.

Checking Subscription

Call your service provider to see which services your subscription supports, or check the service provider’s manual.

Receiving a Message

When a message is received, provided that your GSM phone is switched on, the message is automatically stored on your SIM. The announcement

Message and flashing icon appear on the display and the phone’s alerter emits the message alert tone. If you are engaged in a call, the message alert tone is heard in the earpiece and the Message Icon will be displayed.

If your phone is switched off, the network will store the message until your phone is next switched on. If your SIM is full, your phone will display the message ‘ Store Full’. It is advisable to delete any unwanted messages at this stage.

The alerting tones produced by the alerter can be set to occur once only or to repeat once every minute until the message is read or the NO key is pressed. In a call, the tones are produced once only to avoid disrupting the call.

Quick access to unread messages

You can quickly access your unread messages with your phone in stand- by mode or even during a call. When Message is on the display and the Message Icon is flashing, press SOFT LEFT to view the earliest unread message.

NOTE:

Normal menu access function is overridden until you have viewed all of your unread messages.

You can scroll through this message, and all other messages, in the normal way. Press NO to return to stand-by or back to the call.
