Saved messages are stored in the Drafts box
A new message will replace the oldest message in the Drafts box.
If you save a message to complete and/or send later it will be stored in the Drafts box. The Drafts box holds up to 20 messages. If you are part way through writing a message and you receive an incoming call, the message will be deleted and you will have to start again.
If there is a problem sending a message the display shows Failed! and the handset returns to standby. Your BT Verve 500 will have 2 further attempts at sending your message at 10 minute intervals. If the message fails to be sent on the third attempt the message Sending Error will be displayed alongside the message in the Outbox (replacing the time and date).
If another handset is on the line when you try to send a text message, you will see Line in Use and the message will be stored in the Outbox with the message Not Sent. When the line becomes available your BT Verve 500 will attempt to send the message again.
When writing a message, if no keypad button is pressed for 1 minute, the message will automatically be stored to the Drafts folder, where you can retrieve it at a later time.
