How Your Phone Notifies You of

Messages

If your phone is powered on, it notifies you of
received messages in the following ways:
An alert sounds and/or the phone vibrates.
Your phone beeps and/or vibrates three
times to inform you of an incoming message.
(See page 153 for instructions on how to set
your phone’s alert.)
The o (message) indicator is displayed.
The message is displayed immediately
and remains on the display for several
seconds.
or
Message Read Now? is displayed if the message
is an alphanumeric text message of up to 160
characters. For more information see “Read a
New Message” on page 132.

How Messages Are Stored

Your phone stores all messages on your SIM card.
The total number of messages that you can store
depends on your service provider.
If the message indicator is flashing, your SIM card
is full. See “Delete a Message” on page 134 to
make room for the new message.
