Managing memory

Inbox and Outbox share a given amount of memory in your phone or SIM card. When the message memory is full, the New message icon () blinks and an error message displays. (It disappears when

you press the key, but it reappears if you don’t delete old messages.) In this case, you cannot receive any new messages. You must delete one or more old messages to get free memory for new messages using the Delete option within the Inbox or Outbox or the Delete all option; for further details, see page 79.

Your phone receives incoming messages and saves them in the Inbox. SMS is usually saved in the SIM card, but if the SIM memory is full, the incoming messages will be saved in the phone’s memory.

When the Inbox menu is selected, the list of messages received displays with the:
