Receiving a message

Your phone supports the concatenated Short Message Service (SMS) and Enhanced Messaging Service (EMS), which allows you to send and receive text messages as well as EMS objects--icons, animations and ring tones.

SMS text message

When you have received a new text message your phone will sound to alert you. The screen will show a note reminding you of the last received

messages, together with

popping up at the top.

8When a new message arrives it is stored on your SIM card. If

there is no room to store the message on your SIM card, will flash, and the network will hold the message until you make space for it by deleting another message from your SIM card.

To read a new message press (INBOX). The screen will show a list of last received messages, each entry displaying its respective sender’s phone number. (If the sender is a contact that has been saved in your phone book, the screen will display the sender’s phone book name rather than the phone number). The icon to the left of an message entry

indicates whether an incoming message has been read () or not (). Scroll to highlight the message entry you want.

/If you want to erase all of the received messages from your SIM card, you can scroll down to the end of the message list and select Delete all to erase all of the received messages.

When an entry is highlighted in the black bar the first line of the

message will flash. Press (READ) to view the entire message as well as the arrival time and date associated with the message.

Having read a message, press (OPTIONS) and choose to delete, edit, forward or reply to the message, or start a chat session using the message. For details, see the main menu option Messages on page 75.
