Inboxes

Inboxes are containers that receive incoming messages transmit- ted to your Timeport P930 Two-Way Pager. Three types of inboxes automatically organize the messages for you: Main Inbox, informa- tion services, and personal.

The Main Inbox receives general messages that are sent to your pager. You can set message alerts and assign a cleanup schedule to help maintain the contents, however, the Main Inbox cannot be renamed, have routing rules assigned, nor be deleted.

ÄRouting rules are specific keywords or text strings that your Timeport P930 Two-Way Pager looks for in incoming messages. You can identify keywords or text strings for personal inboxes. When keywords or text strings are found, the message is placed in the appropriate inbox.

Information services inboxes receive subscriber messages, such as world news, financial updates, and sports scores. Information services inboxes can only be created, renamed, or deleted by the information service provider. Changing information service inbox- es requires a software change that is completed over-the-air (OTA) or at a service center by the service provider.

Personal inboxes are inboxes that you can create to receive specific types of messages. Incoming messages are automatically routed to your personal inboxes based upon the routing rules you assigned for each inbox. The number of incoming messages is reported when you view the inbox. You can create, rename, or delete personal inboxes at any time.
