When you receive the following types of messages, you
can access them through the message center:
Voicemail messages.
Multimedia Messaging Service (MMS) messages
(includes most phone-to-phone text messages).
Net Alerts.
Text messages (SMS – Short Message Service).
You can listen to or view these messages, delete them,
or continue to store them in the message center.
The message center also lets you create and send
MMS messages, including phone-to-phone text
messages. It stores messages you have sent and lets
you save drafts of messages you are creating.
