Receiving Messages
When you receive a voice mail message, Short Message Service (SMS) message, or Net alert, you have 2 ways to access the message:
•Respond to the message notification that appears when the message is received.
•Dismiss the message notification and access the message later through the message center.
Message Notifications
When you receive a message, your phone notifies you with text on the display and a notification tone or vibration. You can access the message or dismiss the notification.
If you dismiss the notification, the message is not deleted. It can be accessed through the message center.
If you are not on a phone call when you receive a message, your phone sounds a notification tone every 30 seconds until you access the message, you dismiss the notification, or the alert
