Receiving Messages

When you receive a voice mail message, Multimedia Messaging Service (MMS) message, Short Message Service (SMS) message, or Net alert, you have 2 ways to access the message:

•Respond to the message notification that appears when the message is received.

•Dismiss the message notification and access the message later through the message center.

Message Notifications

When you receive a message, your phone notifies you with text on the display and a notification tone or vibration. You can access the message or dismiss the notification.

If you dismiss the notification, the message is not deleted. It can be accessed through the message center.

If you are not on a phone call when you receive a message, your phone sounds a notification tone every 30 seconds until you access the message, you dismiss the notification, or the alert time-out expires.

When you are on a phone call, you can receive message notifications for all types of messages except MMS messages. For other types of messages, your phone may sound a notification tone during the call or after you end the call, depending on how you set your notification options.

Setting Notification Options

To control whether your phone sounds message notification tones while you are on phone calls:

1From the main menu, select Settings > Phone Calls > Notifications.

2Select the option you want:

•Receive All — Tones sound during calls for all types of messages except MMS messages.

•Msg Mail Only — Tones sound during calls for SMS messages; tones for all other types of messages are held until you end calls.

•Delay All — Tones for all types of messages are held until you end calls.

Note: Delay All is the default setting.
