About mobile messages
You can receive a message in the form of text that
appears on your phone’s screen. Messages are managed
by your service provider’s message center. The person who
sends you a message usually sends it via another phone
(one which allows the user to send and receive mobile
messages) or through email on the internet.
A message consists of a header and a body. The header
may contain the sender’s address and the date that the
message was sent. The body contains the main part of the
message. If you receive a message that was sent via
email, the message subject (title) may appear at the
beginning of the message.
Messages are stored in folders:
• Inbox - Messages (whether read or unread) that
you have neither erased nor saved.
• Outbox - Messages that you sent (if supported by
your service provider).
• Saved - Messages that you have saved.
The sender may assign a priority level to their message:
• Urgent
• Emergency - Sent only by a network operator.
Your phone can store as many as 60 messages (memory
is shared by all folders). However, memory is shared by
both folders. The total number of stored messages depends
on message length.
If your phone’s memory is full when you receive a mobile
(text) message, one or more existing messages will
automatically be deleted to make room for the new
83
message. The priority level assigned to the received
message determines which message is deleted:
• Normal (non-emergency) messages - When a
normal message is received, the oldest read
message in the Inbox is deleted.
• Emergency messages - When an emergency
message is received, existing messages are deleted
in the following order:
- oldest read message in the Inbox
- oldest message in the Saved folder
- oldest unread message in the Inbox
If No space: message waiting or a similar notification
message appears, delete one or more old messages to
make room for the new message. The network will resend
the message later.
