Messaging Settings

Staying connected to your friends and family has never been easier. With your phone’s advanced messaging capabilities, you can send and receive messages without placing a voice call. (See “Using SMS Text Messaging” on page 179, and “Using SMS Voice Messaging” on page 181 for more information.)

Your phone’s messaging settings make text messaging fast and easy by letting you decide how you would like to be notified of new messages and what callback number to include with your message. Your phone can automatically add a custom signature to each message. You can even create your own preset messages.

Setting Message Alerts

When new messages arrive, you can choose to have your phone notify you by playing an audible alert. You can choose different alerts for Text Messages, SMS Voice, and Picture Mail. See “Selecting Ringer Types for Messages” on page 48.

You can also set your phone to notify you of a new message by displaying an icon on your display screen. You can choose to be notified with a larger pop-up notification your display screen.

To set how your phone notifies you of an incoming message:

1.Press S> Messaging > Settings.

2.Highlight the Notification field.

3.Select Msg and Icon or Icon only and press S.
