Storing messages

A C4050 handset can store up to ten text messages, along with the date and
time received and the caller's identification, if the message was sent from
another handset. A C4040 handset can store up to six text messages, along
with the date and time received and the caller identification, if the message
was sent from another handset.

of the message displayed. The following symbols in front of the message
indicate its status:

– urgent message

messages overwrite the old messages, starting with the oldest message.
