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.

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.
