Receiving Messages
When you receive a voice mail message,
Multimedia Messaging Service (MMS) message,
Short Message Service (SMS) message, or Net
alert, you have 2 ways to access the message:
• Respond to the message notification that
appears when the message is received.
• Dismiss the message notification and access
the message later through the message center.
Message Notifications
When you receive a message, your phone notifies
you with text on the display and a notification tone
or vibration. You can access the message or
dismiss the notification.
If you dismiss the notification, the message is not
deleted. It can be accessed through the message
center.
If you are not on a phone call when you receive a
message, your phone sounds a notification tone
every 30 seconds until you access the message,
you dismiss the notification, or the alert time-out
expires.
When you are on a phone call, you can receive
message notifications for all types of messages
except MMS messages. For other types of
messages, your phone may sound a notification
tone during the call or after you end the call,
depending on how you set your notification
options.
Setting Notification Options
To control whether your phone sounds message
notification tones while you are on phone calls:
1 From the main menu, select Settings > Phone
Calls > Notifications.
2 Select the option you want:
• Receive All — Tones sound during calls for
all types of messages except MMS
messages.
• Msg Mail Only — Tones sound during calls
for SMS messages; tones for all other types
of messages are held until you end calls.
• Delay All — Tones for all types of messages
are held until you end calls.
Note: Delay All is the default setting.
Tip: To set notification options during a call:
Press m. Select In Call Setup >
Notifications.
