SMS (Short Message Service)
SMS are short text messages that your phone
can receive and send via the network. On some
networks you have to subscribe to this facility.
There are two types of SMS: point-to-point
messages which you can both receive and
send, and broadcast messages which you can
only receive.
Entering the SMS menu gives you these
options:
»Inbox«
»Outbox«
»New SMS«
»Broadcasts«
»Voice mail«
Inbox
A new incoming message will be indicated by
the SMS indicator
on the standby display, as
well as by a message tone (if enabled – see the
Setup menu page 23). The display will also tell
you how many new messages there are for you.
• Immediate access to a new message
When the symbol
appears in your display
together with the number of new messages, you
get immediate access to your inbox simply by
pressing

time of each individual message received, and
you can then select and read the message(s)
you want to.
The phone number of the message sender or
the name (if stored in your phone book) will be
displayed in front of the message. You can now
scroll through the message by using the arrow
keys.
The message is automatically stored in the
inbox if you do not delete it. In addition to
reading the message, you can press
»OPTION« and
– delete it
– send a reply
– forward it to another phone number

received a new message, you have to enter the
Inbox to read it.
The SMS indicator tells you that there
are still unread messages, and remains on the
standby display until all messages have been
read.
Outbox
The messages you send are automatically
stored in the outbox where you can always
find them again. If you enter the outbox and

indicates that the message memory is full.
You can delete all messages stored either in
the Inbox or the Outbox at the same time.
This is done by entering the Setup menu, see
