Reading Text Messages

Some Service Providers let you subscribe to a Short
Message Service (SMS), which allows you to
receive alphanumeric messages on your TDMA
digital StarTAC™ phone, just like a pager. Contact
your Service Provider for information about the
availability of messaging in your area.
SMS enables your phone to save up to 15 short
messages, each up to 80 characters in length, or
five full-length 239-character messages.
Your TDMA digital StarTAC™ phone automatically
replaces the oldest messages with the newest as
they are received. You can store Call Back
messages and numbers for later review. The one-
touch Message Button makes viewing your
messages easy.
