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 many different kinds of text messages without placing a voice call. (For more information, see “Accessing Messaging” on page 240.)

Your phone’s messaging settings make text messaging even faster and easier by letting you decide how you would like to be notified of new messages, create a signature with each sent message, and create your own canned messages, to name just a few.

Setting Message Alerts

When new messages arrive, you can choose to have your phone notify you by playing an audible alert.

To hear an alert when you receive a new message:

1.Press Menu ( ) to access the main menu.

2.Select Messaging ( ).

3.Select Settings ( ).

4.Select Message Alert ( ).

5.Select Type ( ).

6.Select Voicemail ( ), Text Message ( ), or

Picture Mail ( ).

7.Select Single Tones, Ring Tones, Melodies, or
