About mobile messages

A mobile message is a message in the form of text that appears on your phone’s screen. You can address outgoing messages to email addresses and phone numbers. The recipient of your message typically receives it via:

•a phone that supports mobile messaging

•a pager

•the internet (through an email client)

Message storage

Messages are stored in your phone in folders:

•Inbox - Messages (whether read or unread) that you have received and have neither erased nor saved.

•Outbox - Messages that you sent (or that you have created then saved, intending to send later).

•Saved - Messages that were in the Inbox or Outbox and which you have saved.

Your phone can store as many as 60 messages (memory is shared by all folders). However, the total number of stored messages depends on message length. If your phone’s memory is full when you receive a mobile message:

•If the message is not an emergency message, the oldest sent message in the Outbox folder will automatically be deleted, but “drafts” (unsent messages) will not be deleted. If there are no sent messages in the Outbox folder, the oldest read message in the Inbox folder is deleted. If there are no read messages in the Inbox, No space: message waiting or a similar message appears, prompting you to delete messages from one of the other folders. The network will resend the message later.
