Messages
This menu allows you to create, send, read and save messages with the Short Message Service (SMS: text message), Enhanced Message Service (EMS: message including simple image, animation or melody) and Multimedia Message Service (MMS: message supporting the presentation of various media types, such as full colour images and polyphonic ring tones). Voice mails are also available.
Note: This feature is only available if your service provider’s network supports it. Contact your service provider for more information.
Short Message (Menu 1.1)
Short message service (SMS) allows you to send and receive short text messages to and from other GSM mobile phones. In addition, your phone supports the Enhanced Messaging Service (EMS), which enables you to make short messages consisting of simple pictures, melodies, animations and styled text all of which adds a new dimension to simple text messages.
To send text messages by phone, you must obtain the number of the SMS centre from your service provider.
Receiving a new message
When you receive a new message, the New message icon ( 
) and a text notification showing the number of the message appear on the display. You also hear an alert, depending on the message sound setting; for further details, see page 96.
Messages
To read the new message(s) immediately, press the View soft key. The list of the messages appears.
Note: To clear the new message notification on the display, press the 
key.
Managing memory
Inbox and Outbox share a given amount of memory in your phone or SIM card. When the message memory is full, the New message icon ( 
) blinks and an error message displays. (It disappears when you press the 
key, but it reappears if you don’t delete old messages.) In this case, you cannot receive any new messages. You must delete one or more old messages to get free memory for new messages using the Delete option within Inbox or Outbox or the Delete all option; for further details, see page 72.
Inbox (Menu 1.1.1)
Your phone receives incoming messages and saves them in Inbox. SMS is usually saved in the SIM card, but if the SIM memory is full, the incoming messages will be saved in the phone’s memory.
When the Inbox menu is selected, the list of messages received displays with the:
•sender’s phone number, or name if stored in Phonebook.
•message status; 
for a read message, 
for a message to read or 
for an incomplete message.
