Messages

The Short Message Service (SMS) enables to send or receive text messages to or from other mobile phones. You can store, edit and forward messages as well as save any of the numbers they may contain.

These SMS are stored on the phone mem- ory; they may also be stored in the SIM card if they are sent by a service provider.

Reading a received SMS message
