Managing Memory

All messages in the Inbox, Drafts, and Sent Items share the same memory space.

Note: The content of a message in the Inbox is not stored in your phone’s memory until the message is read. Unread messages use very little memory.

To view your used memory, free memory, and memory capacity:

1From the main menu, select Messages.

2With [Create Mesg] highlighted, press m.

3Select Setup > Memory Size.

Tip: This option is available from many context-sensitive menus when you are using MMS.

To free memory, delete messages.

To delete many messages at once, see “Deleting All Messages”.

To set messages to be deleted automatically, see “Setting the Clean-up Option” on page 99.

Managing Memory

Note: Messages are stored in your phone using the same memory space used to store Java applications data, voice records, ring tones, pictures, and wallpaper images. Deleting some of these other items frees memory for messages.

Deleting All Messages

To delete all read, unlocked messages from the Inbox, all messages in Drafts, or all successfully sent messages in Sent Items:

1Select Inbox, Draft, or Sent Items.

2Press m.

3Select Delete All.

4Press O or press Aunder Yes to confirm.
