SMS messages: These messages are delivered immediately to your phone. If your phone is turned off when SMS messages arrive, you are notified the next time you turn your phone on. A closed envelope

icon , indicating an unopened e-mail message, is displayed in the title bar, accompanied by an SMS sound alert. You can view new SMS messages in your Inbox.
