Messages
Your Vertu phone contains a comprehensive messaging function, which enables you
to send and receive a wide variety of message types. Message types that can be
handled by your phone include:
• Text messages (short message service (SMS) messages)
• Multimedia messages (multimedia messaging service (MMS))
• Emails
• Speech messages
• Presentations (messages including slide shows or video)
• Service messages
• Cell broadcast messages
NOTE: The various types of messages are only available when supported
by your service provider.
To begin using the feature, you need to check the following:
• Insert a valid SIM card into the device and make sure you are in the vicinity of a
cellular network.
• Verify that the network supports the messaging features you want to use and that
they are activated on your SIM card.
• Set the Internet access point settings on the device.
• Define the email account settings on the device (see "Setting up your phone for the
first time" on page 22 and "Email settings" on page 68).
• Enter the text message settings on the device.
• Enter the multimedia message settings on the device.
Your Vertu phone normally recognizes the SIM card provider and automatically
configures some of the message settings during the wizard setup process. If not, you
may need to enter the settings manually or contact your service provider to configure
them.
Messaging is accessed using the Left Select key on your Vertu phone.

NOTE: Email messages can also be accessed through Messaging.

Message alerts

Text messages are automatically received when your Vertu phone is switched on.
When your phone is off, messages are held by your service provider until the next
time your phone is connected to the network.
When a message arrives on your phone, alerts are displayed on the Home screen.
The presence of a new text message is displayed in the Notification area.
When email arrives in one of the email accounts displayed on the Home screen, a
red icon next to the email account name displays the total number of new messages.
If the email account is not displayed in the Information area, then an alert is displayed
at the bottom of the Notification area.
Messages can be accessed directly by highlighting the relevant alert box and
pressing the Middle Select key, which takes you to the relevant message function.
For further information, refer to the "Home screen" on page 24.
