service and may not be supported by your network.
Messages can be sent by text, fax, Email and paging
messaging systems, provided that these services are
supported by your network. To send text messages by
phone, you must obtain the number of the SMS centre
from your service provider.
When the icon appears, you have received new text
messages. If the message memory is full, an error
