Text Messages
When the text messaging network service is available
and you have subscribed to it, your phone can send,
receive, and store text messages. The text messaging
function is a network service and may not be supported
by your network. Your network operator gives you your
Message Center number (see Menu 2 4 later in this
chapter), which you need to send messages.
The maximum length of a text message is 160
characters. The phone has space for five full-length
messages. NO SPACE: MESSAGE WAITING means
you need to delete current messages from your
memory to make space in the phone for new
messages.
Reading Text Messages
When your phone receives a
Short Message Service (SMS)
text message, the message is
stored in the currently-selected
memory (A or B).
You can read messages immediately with the Read key,
or Quit and read the message later using Menu 2.
