Pantech C3b - Manual (Page 45)

In addition to the familiar text content of text messages,
multimedia messages can contain images, graphics, and/or
sound.
An MMS message is a separate multimedia presentation in
a single entry, not an attachment to the text file.
Using the MMS feature, your phone can receive a
multimedia message and/or send a picture message,
depending on MMS availability from your service provider.
Only phones that support the multimedia message feature
can receive or display the multimedia messages.
Receiving a new message
When you receive a new message, the popup dialog box
displays the number of unread messages and the number
of total messages with the New Message icon ( ) in the
icon area of the internal and external displays.
You also hear an alert, depending on the message sound
setting.
To read the new message(s) immediately, press the [Read]
Soft key or the [o] key.
Managing memory
The Inbox, Outbox, Drafts, Sent, and Templates share a
given amount of memory on the phone. In the Inbox, text
messages (SMS) can be saved on the phone or the SIM,
depending on the Text Message settings.
When Save to in the Text Message settings is set to SIM,
received messages are saved in the phone memory if
the SIM capacity is full. Also, even if Save to in the Text
Message settings is set to Phone, received messages are
saved in the SIM if the memory capacity is full.
When using the Inbox, up to 100 received messages can
be saved to the phone memory. Up to 30 entries can be
saved in the other mailboxes. The Inbox can use the SIM
memory. Only the Inbox can use the SIM memory to store
text messages (SMS). When you try to save more than 100
messages in the Inbox, a full icon ( ) appears.
When a full icon appears, you cannot receive any new
messages. When you open the phone, the notification
“Message full Please delete” appears on the display.
You must delete one or more of the old messages in order
to make memory available for the new messages. Use the
[Delete] option within the each mailbox, or use the [Delete
All] option to delete all the messages.
