On the All messages screen, tap the text message or message thread to open and read it.

If you have a new message notification, slide the status bar down to open the Notifications panel. Tap the new message to open and read it.

To return to the All messages screen from a text message thread, press MENU and then tap All messages.

To view the details of a particular message, in the message thread,

press and hold the message to open the options menu, and then tap View message details.

If a message contains a link to a web page, tap the message and then tap the link to open it in the web browser.

If a message contains a phone number, tap the message and then tap the phone number to dial the number or add it to your contacts.
