Sending and Receiving Text Messages

This chapter describes SMS, what you need to do before you can send messages, how you

send messages, and how you read messages. This service is network dependent.

About Text

Messages

The Short Message Service (SMS) function al-

lows you to send and receive text messages that

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 incom-

ing calls are diverted to another phone number.

Also, if you have had your phone turned off for

a while the network will keep track of the mes-

sage and send it to your phone as soon as it is

turned on.

After a message is received, it is left in the

phone’s memory, which works similar to a com-

puter’s working memory. The message remains

in the phone’s memory until you read it. You

can even turn off the phone and the message

will remain intact. If you, on the other hand,

change SIM Card, you will lose the unread mes-

sage. This is because messages should be per-

sonal.

Note!

You need to set the service center number be-

fore you can send any messages. If you only

want to receive messages, you do not need to do

anything.
