Receiving Messages
When you receive a voicemail message, Multimedia

message:
䢇Respond to the message notification that appears
when the message is received.
䢇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.
䊳To dismiss the message notification, press Later
(right softkey).
If you dismiss the notification, the message is not
deleted. You can access it 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 time-out expires.
When you are on a phone call, you can receive
message notifications for all types of messages except
MMS messages. For other types of messages, your
phone may sound a notification tone during the call or
after you end the call, depending on how you set your
notification options.
For information on notification options, see “Setting
Message Notification” on page 75.
