Sending and Receiving Text Messages (SMS) NewMessage Read now? New 12:15 From: 123456 The Short Message Service (SMS) allows you to send and receive text messages consisting of up to 160 characters. You can receive text messages when the phone is in standby mode, during a call or when incoming calls are diverted to another phone number. If your SIM card does not contain the phone number to your network service centre, you must specify the number yourself. Otherwise you cannot reply to messages received or send your own messages. See "Enabling the Phone to Send SMS" on page 38. Note! The Short Message Service may not be available on all networks. Some network operators may only allow SMS to be sent within their own network. RECEIVING A MESSAGE When you receive a message, you hear a signal and the display indicates that you have a new message. The indicator light on the top of the phone rapidly flashes green. Note! All networks do not send an audible signal. To read the message now 1. Press Y ES when you see the Read now? prompt. The display shows the status of the message (New) and when it was received. If your network supports Calling Line Identification, the sender's number is displayed. If the sender's number and name is stored in the phone book, his or her name is shown instead. 2. Press Y ES and scroll through the message using the arrow keys. R IGH T takes you forwards and L E FT takes you backwards through the message. To go to the end of the message, press and hold RIGH T. The prompt Reply? appears after the last line of the message. If the sender wants you to reply, the displayed message will read Requested reply Reply? provided that your network supports this. See "Replying to a Message" on page 38. Sending and Receiving Text Messages (SMS) 37
