Message Services; Text Message Service - Ericsson T18di User Manual

Message Services

Text messages and voice mail are the two types of message services
your Ericsson mobile phone can support. The message services are
provided by your service provider and subject to availability.

Text Message Service

Your phone can store a maximum of 2KB of message text in its
memory. The messages can be classified by the sender using one of
the following message types: Normal, Urgent, and Emergency. A text
message can also contain one or more callback numbers - phone
numbers specified by the person leaving the message.
The message category assignment and the callback number
capability are dependent on the system used by your service provider.
After a sender leaves a message with your service provider, the service
provider transmits the message to your phone. If your phone is On,
it receives the message. If your phone is Off, your service provider
retains the message and transmits it again later.
When a message is received, your phone lets you skip, review, save,
or delete a text message.
Emergency Text Messages
If your phone is turned On when it receives an emergency message,
your phone sounds two brief tones, and a message appears in the
display for a few seconds prompting you to read the emergency
message.
Message Services
Emergency messages are always shown before urgent and normal
messages, regardless of the order in which the messages were
received.
Urgent Text Messages
If your phone is turned On when it receives an urgent text message,
your phone sounds a brief tone, and a message appears in the display.
Normal Text Messages
If your phone is turned On when it receives a normal text message,
your phone sounds a brief tone, and a message appears in the display.
