Text Messages

When the text messaging network service is available and you have subscribed to it, your phone can send, receive, and store text messages. The text messaging function is a network service and may not be supported by your network. Your network operator gives you your Message Center number (see Menu 2 4 later in this chapter), which you need to send messages.

The maximum length of a text message is 160 characters. The phone has space for five full-length messages. NO SPACE: MESSAGE WAITING means you need to delete current messages from your memory to make space in the phone for new messages.

Reading Text Messages

When your phone receives a Short Message Service (SMS) text message, the message is stored in the currently-selected memory (A or B).
