Messages Menu
Your phone supports the two GSM 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.
When an SMS message is received, your phone:
1 Makes three short alert tones (depending on the ‘Ring or Vibrate’ setting).
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 Cellular Service Provider will transmit a message for a limited amount of time. If a memory
location is not made available before the message is removed from the network, then you will
not be able to receive or read it.
4 Message will then be displayed with the prompt; Read Now?
5 If O is pressed, the phone will enter the Received Messages browser and
immediately display the new message.
6 If C is pressed the phone will return to the screen which was displayed prior to
receipt of the message.
7 If any other key is pressed it will perform the function linked with that key.
8 If no key is pressed the display will time-out after 1 minute and return to the screen
which was displayed prior to receipt of the message.
Cell Broadcast Messages
These are general messages, broadcast to a group of phones and can only be received when your
phone is in standby mode.
These messages are broadcast in numbered ’channels’ and, in general, each channel will tend to
carry one particular type of information.
Typical cell broadcast channels could have information on local weather conditions, traffic reports
or stock market prices. Please contact your network operator for a list of available channels and
the information they supply.
