Sent messages are stored in the Outbox

Your BT Verve 500’s outbox is like a redial list. It holds a copy of the last 20 sent messages.

Each message has details of the number where the message was sent, and the time and date of sending.

In order to send and receive text messages you must not withhold your number. On most networks if you normally withhold your number the 1470 prefix presents your number for you.

A new message will replace the oldest message in the Outbox.

If you experience any problems, please call the Helpline on 0870 242 6652 or email bthelpdesk@convergys.com
