8. Voice mail++

Voice mail is a network feature that enables those who call you to leave a voice message.

Note: You can use voice mail with either one or two phone lines.

When you receive a voice message, your phone lets you know by beeping, displaying an icon on the screen, or showing a text message. The method of notification depends upon your carrier.

Additionally, if you receive more than one voice mail message, your phone may display the number of messages that you have received. Finally, if you have subscribed to two different phone lines, the message would indicate the line to which the message was addressed.

However, even though your phone notifies you of a message, the voice mail feature is independent of your phone’s software. To use voice mail, you must have:

•A voice mail subscription

•A voice mailbox number

•A temporary password

These items are provided by your service provider. Your service provider should also tell you how to record a greeting for your voice mailbox and how to change the temporary password.

After you obtain this information from your service provider, you must then save the voice mailbox number given to you to your phone. Refer to “Save the voice mailbox number” on page 36.

After you have saved your voice mailbox number, refer to “Listen to your voice messages” on page 36.

Note: If you have difficulty using the voice mail feature, contact your service provider.

8850 specifications

The Nokia 8850, released in 1999, is a remarkable mobile phone that epitomizes the blend of elegance and functionality. Renowned for its sleek design and advanced features, the Nokia 8850 became a status symbol during its time, appealing to both business professionals and style-conscious consumers.

One of the standout features of the Nokia 8850 is its compact and lightweight design. Weighing only 91 grams and featuring a slim profile, the phone was exceptionally portable, making it easy to carry around. Its metallic casing, coupled with a high-quality finish, not only added to its aesthetic appeal but also provided durability.

The Nokia 8850 is powered by Nokia's Series 40 user interface. The interface was intuitive and user-friendly, allowing seamless navigation through various functions. The device features a monochrome display with a resolution of 48 x 84 pixels. While modest by today’s standards, the screen was adequate for displaying essential information such as contacts, text messages, and menus.

In terms of connectivity, the Nokia 8850 supported GSM networks, operating on the 900 MHz and 1800 MHz frequencies. This allowed users to stay connected in various regions, particularly in Europe and parts of Asia. However, the device did not support modern features such as 3G or Wi-Fi, as mobile networks were still evolving at the time.

One of the most popular aspects of the Nokia 8850 was its impressive battery life. Equipped with a removable NiMH battery, the phone could provide around 4-5 hours of talk time and up to 150 hours of standby time. This reliable battery performance made it an ideal choice for users who required a dependable device throughout the day.

The Nokia 8850 also incorporated essential features such as a built-in alarm clock, calendar, and a basic set of games, enhancing its utility for everyday tasks. Additionally, users could send SMS messages, a popular mode of communication during that era.

Security was an important consideration, and the Nokia 8850 featured a password protection option for the phone, ensuring that personal information could be safeguarded.

In conclusion, the Nokia 8850 remains a nostalgic piece of technology history, symbolizing the evolution of mobile phones. Its exquisite design, user-friendly interface, and reliable performance made it a standout device in the late 1990s, leaving a lasting legacy in the world of mobile communications.
