About mobile messages
You can receive a message in the form of text that appears on your phone’s screen. Messages are managed by your service provider’s message center. The person who sends you a message usually sends it via another phone (one which allows the user to send and receive mobile messages) or through email on the internet.
A message consists of a header and a body. The header may contain the sender’s address and the date that the message was sent. The body contains the main part of the message. If you receive a message that was sent via email, the message subject (title) may appear at the beginning of the message.
Messages are stored in folders:
•Inbox - Messages (whether read or unread) that you have neither erased nor saved.
•Outbox - Messages that you sent (if supported by your service provider).
•Saved - Messages that you have saved.
The sender may assign a priority level to their message:
•Urgent
•Emergency - Sent only by a network operator.
Your phone can store as many as 90 messages (memory is shared by all folders). The total number of stored messages depends on message length.
If your phone’s memory is full when you receive a text message, one or more existing messages will automatically be deleted to make room for the new message. The priority level assigned to the received message determines which message is deleted:
•Normal
46
