Sending and Receiving Text Messages
A very convenient feature of your Ericsson CF888 is the
Short Message Service (SMS). This allows you to send and re-
ceive text messages consisting of up to 160 characters.
Using the SMS, you do not have to worry about whether the
person you want to reach checks their answering machines.
The message will be delivered to their phone.
Text messages can be received when the phone is in standby
mode, when the recipient is engaged in a call or when incom-
ing calls are forwarded to another phone number. If the re-
cipient's phone is turned off when a message is sent, a notify-
ing message will be displayed shortly after the phone is
turned on.
Apart from sending standard messages to phones, your Er-
icsson CF888 is also prepared for sending fax messages
(group 3 and 4), e-mails and telexes, via SMS. This service is
operator dependent.
Together with your CF888 you received the Mobile Office

Messages will remain in the Messages memory until you erase
them (see "How to Erase a Message"), until you insert a dif-

space for storing new messages

is not erased from the messages memory, you can store it in
