On Your Phone - Motorola Nextel iDEN i2000plus User Manual

incoming Two-Way Messages will be delivered as Text Messages and should be
retrieved as Message Mail. Two-Way Messages, received as Text Messages, are
free and do not count against the allotment of Text Messages included in your
rate plan.
NOTE: The capability to initiate messages or reply to messages using
your phone is available only in the United States.
With International selected as the Message Preference on your phone, your
messages:
• will be delivered as Message Mail, sent in up to 4 sequential messages with
an inclusive maximum of 500 characters.
• will be held temporarily if your phone is turned off or you are out of the
coverage area. Message delivery will be continuously attempted, until
successful, for up to 7 days. If, after 7 days, the message is undeliverable,
the message will be deleted from the system.
• that have been successfully delivered will be stored for 14 days.
NOTE: If you do not select International as your Message Preference,
you will not receive messages while abroad.
Upon your return to the domestic United States, messages that are less than 7
days old (even deleted Text Messages) will appear in your Net Mail Inbox and
will be marked as read messages. At this time, you may reply to your messages
if desired. Messages that are older than 7 days will be automatically deleted
from the system.
Changing My Destination
To receive messages abroad, you must change your Message Preference (My
Destination) to International. This causes Two-Way Messages to be converted
to Text Messages. There are three ways to change your preference:
• from your Nextel phone,
• from nextel.com, or
• by contacting Nextel Worldwide Customer Care.

On Your Phone:

You may only change your Message Destination on the phone while in the
domestic United States.
