Memory for storing messages is divided between SIM card memory and the phone's own memory. In the first level of the Messages menu, except for the SIM Folder option, messages saved in Inbox, Outbox, and Drafts are all stored in the phone's memory.

When a new message is received, or when there are unread messages in

the phone's or SIM card's memory, the icon will appear in the external

display's status bar; the main display will show the icon in its status bar to remind you that you have unread messages.

When a message has arrived, it will be saved either to the the phone's memory or to your SIM card's memory, depending on the preferred memory you have selected in the menu: Messages Message Settings

Short Message Settings Save New Msg To (See page 71). Messages saved to the phone's memory will be stored in the menu: Messages Inbox; messages saved to your SIM card's memory will be stored in the menu: Messages SIM Folder Inbox.

If the phone's memory is already full, any new messages will remain stored in the SIM card's memory (in the menu Messages SIM Folder Inbox) until the SIM card's memory is itself full.
