Overview of Messages
and How to Use Them
Your phone supports the two PCS message features: Short
Message Services (SMS) and Cell Broadcast.
SMS Messages
These are text messages that are sent specifically to and from
your phone number. All SMS messages are stored on your SIM
card. The amount of storage space is determined by your
network provider and is shared between both outgoing and
incoming messages.
When an SMS message is received, your phone:
1 Makes three short rings.
2 Displays the o messages icon.
3 Stores the message for later viewing, if there is space. If there
is not enough space, the o icon will flash. One or more
messages must be removed before the message can be stored.
Your Service Provider will only transmit a message for a limited
time. If a location is not cleared from your phone’s message
memory before the message is removed from the network, the
new message will be deleted, and you will not be able to receive
or read it.
*Network dependent features.
