Types of Messages

The i830 is capable of sending e‐mail and text messages. To send e‐mail using ActiveSync, you’ll first need to install ActiveSync to your PC, and then create a Standard Partnership. To send e‐mail direct, configure the i830 to connect with your existing Internet Service Provider’s POP3 server. Send text messages by simply entering the phone number of the recipient in the To: <....> field of the message composer when creating a

new message.

Messaging Inbox

All incoming messages arrive and are stored in the Inbox until deleted. If memory is full, new messages are rejected. Delete older messages to free up space for incoming messages. The Inbox has three sub menus at the bottom of the screen labeled New, Tools, and Accounts. The following sections cover each of these sub menus in more detail.

Messaging Outbox

Your phone stores messages in the Outbox, regardless of whether the message was successfully transmitted. Verify if and when a message or e‐mail was successfully transmitted by enabling the Delivery Ack feature.

Note: Delivery Ack may not be available on all GSM networks and when roaming off the Verizon Wireless Network.

Text Messages

You can send and receive text messages to other users with SMS capability. Text messaging, also known as SMS (Short Message Service) can be sent from one device to another by addressing the message to the recipient’s phone number.

Note: There is a 160-character limit for text messages. The limit applies only to messages sent using Text Messaging and not Pocket Outlook or other E-mail clients. If you send an SMS message with more than 160 characters, the message truncates after the first 160 characters. Remaining characters are sent in separate messages until all characters have been sent. Charges apply in accordance with the sender’s and the recipient’s calling plans.

Messaging

Voice mail allows callers to leave voice messages, which can be retrieved any time. The procedure for checking voice mail varies, depending upon the mode of operation (GSM or CDMA). Once your voice mail account has been set up, you can use the SMS Inbox folder (under the Message menu) to view details of voice messages in your voice mailbox.
