Sending and Receiving Text Messages
Text Messages
The Short Message Service (SMS) function al-
lows 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 incom-
ing calls are diverted to another phone number.
If you have had your phone turned off for a
while, the network keeps track of the message
and sends it to your phone as soon as it is turned
on.
After a message is received, it is left in the
phone's memory, which is similar to a com-
puter's working memory. The message remains
in the phone's memory until you read it. You
can even turn off the phone and the message
still remains intact. If you, on the other hand,
change SIM Card, you lose the unread message.
This is because messages are personal.
Note!
You need to set the service centre number be-
fore you can send any messages. If you only
want to receive messages, you do not need to do
anything.
