Sending And Receiving 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 SIM unless the SIM is full,
then it is stored in the phone's 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.
NOTE:
You need to set the service centre number before you can send any
messages. If you only want to receive messages, you do not need to do
anything.
