Messaging Settings, DisplayingPop-upMessages | Sprint Nextel LX160

When the Location feature is on, your phone’s standby screen will display the icon. When Location is turned off, the icon will be displayed.

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 “Using SMSText Messaging”on page 119.)

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 preset messages, to name just a few.

DisplayingPop-upMessages

When you receive a text message, your phone notifies you by displaying an icon on your display screen. You can also choose to be notified with a larger pop-up message on your display screen. (When MSG&Icon is enabled, a larger pop-up message as well as an icon will be displayed.)

Todisplaypop-upmessages:

1.Select Menu>Settings>Messaging>Notification.

2.Select MSG&Iconor IconOnly and press .
