Messages

General

The messaging feature lets you:
• send short text messages (free text or according to user
defined or predefined templates),
• send status messages,
• receive messages.
A status is a number corresponding to a pre-programmed
message in a list your group recognises. A text message is a
short text containing up to 140 characters. Each message is
stamped with the date and time it was left in the inbox.
If configured by your Service Provider it is only possible to send a
message to a private number that is stored in the Contacts list.

Inbox messages or, new Outbox messages that you choose
to store in your MTP850 memory. User defined messages
may also be programmed into your MTP850.
