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 allows 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 incoming 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 message 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 computer'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 message. This is because messages should be personal. Note! You need to set the service center number before you can send any messages. If you only want to receive messages, you do not need to do anything. Checking Subscription q Call your service provider to see which services your subscription supports, or check the service provider's manual. Setting Service Center Address 1.

Select how long you want the message to be repeated. The service center repeats the message for the set duration or until the receiver can receive it. LZT 126 1343/x R1A 21
