Message Services

Text messages and voice mail are the two types of mes- sage services your Ericsson mobile phone can support. The message services are provided by your service pro- vider and subject to availability.

Text Message Service

Your phone can store a maximum of 2KB of message text in its memory. The messages can be classified by the sender using one of the following message types: Nor- mal, Urgent, and Emergency. A text message can also contain one or more callback numbers - phone numbers specified by the person leaving the message.

The message category assignment and the callback num- ber capability are dependent on the system used by your service provider.

After a sender leaves a message with your service pro- vider, the service provider transmits the message to your phone. If your phone is On, it receives the message. If your phone is Off, your service provider retains the mes- sage and transmits it again later.

When a message is received, your phone lets you skip, review, save, or delete a text message.

Emergency Text Messages

If your phone is turned On when it receives an emer- gency message, your phone sounds two brief tones, and a message appears in the display for a few seconds prompting you to read the emergency message.

Emergency messages are always shown before urgent and normal messages, regardless of the order in which the messages were received.

Urgent Text Messages

If your phone is turned On when it receives an urgent text message, your phone sounds a brief tone, and a mes- sage appears in the display.

Normal Text Messages

If your phone is turned On when it receives a normal text message, your phone sounds a brief tone, and a mes- sage appears in the display.
