Your phone can receive two types of message
service—text messages and voice mail—if these
services are available from your service
provider. If you subscribe to either or both
services, callers can leave you text messages or
voice mail. Your service provider then
transmits the text messages and voice mail
notifications to your phone.

Text Message Service

Your phone supports three message categories:
Normal, Urgent, and Emergency. The actual
tagging of the text message is dependent on the
system used by your service provider. Your
service provider transmits messages to your
phone. If your phone is ON, it receives the
messages as described below. If your phone is
not turned ON, your service provider retains
the messages and transmits them again later.
NOTE: The KH 618 holds up to five messages.
The KH 668 holds up to ten messages or a
maximum of 2KB of message text. The KF 688
holds over ten messages that can total 2KB of
message text.
When a reviewing text message, the status of a
text message is shown using the following
letters:
R
- Read, text message has been read but
not saved.
S
- Saved, text message has been read
and saved.
U
- Unread, text message has not been read.
Normal Messages
If your phone is turned ON when it receives a
normal text message, your phone sounds a brief
tone and a message similar to the one in this
illustration is shown in
the display. You have a
choice of reading the
message immediately by
pressing S, or reading it later by pressing
E. Pressing E clears the message
received alert from the display and places a
number and icon in the display to remind you of
your messages.
