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 text messages without placing a
voice call. (See “Using SMS Text Messaging” on page 153 for
more information.)
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 and what callback number to
include with the message. You can even create your own
preset messages.
Displaying Pop-up Messages
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.
To display pop-up messages:
1. Press
O
> Messaging > Settings > Notification.
2. Select Msg and Icon and press
O
.
Setting Message Alerts
When new messages arrive, you can choose to have your
phone notify you by playing an audible alert. See “Selecting
Ringer Types for Messages” on page 70.
