First

Enter the List menu by pressing

Select »Messages«

Favourites Instead of entering your own message you can make use of the "Favourites" which are standard messages already stored in your phone. You only need to insert the name, place or time in the empty spaces. The cursor automatically points to the first empty space. Once you have filled this in, you can move the cursor to the next empty space simply by pressing »NEXT«.

Broadcasts Broadcasts are gen- eral messages which are sent to a group of subscribers, typically con- taining local weather reports, sports results, etc.

A broadcast message is scrolled twice over the display. If you do not see the message when it is received, you can read it later on by selecting »Broadcasts«.

If you do not store a broadcast message, it will be deleted when you switch off your telephone – even if the message has not been read.

In addition to reading a broadcast, you can select it, press »OPTION« and:

store it for reading it later on

forward it to another phone number

If you want to receive broadcast messages, you have to enter the Setup menu (see p. 68) to set up this feature.

Voice mail Some networks offer a voice mail function where you can listen to your voice mails just by selecting the submenu »Voice mail«.

Other networks send you an SMS message when you receive a new voice mail, and you will then have to call your network operator’s voice mail number to listen to it.

If you have selected Roaming, i.e. if you are abroad and connected to a foreign network, you may be able to receive broadcasts from other net- works, too.

The phone will show the broadcast ID number, allowing you to identify the kind of message received.

The phone will show on which line your voice mail is located.
