23. Sending and Receiving Text Messages (SMS)
This service may not be available on all
networks. In addition, a special subscription
may be required to use the service.
The Short Message Service (SMS) of the
cellular network allows you to send and receive
text messages to your phone. SMS may contain
up to 160 characters.
Text messages can be received when the
phone is in standby mode, when you are
engaged in a call, or when incoming calls are
diverted to another phone number.
Messages memory
When you receive SMS, the phone gives a
message signal–two beeps and the indicator
lamp on the top of the phone rapidly blinks
green. You will also see the text Message
together with Read? (the
Mm
symbol appears
on the bottom right corner if you answer NO).
The message is automatically stored in the first
free memory position in the phone. You may
read the messages any time you wish (the
Mm
symbol remains in the display until you have
read the message). The messages memory can
hold up to 20 messages.
A message remains in the message memory
until you erase it or until you insert a different
SIM card.
