Messages; Message Alerts - Vertu CONSTELLATION QUEST RM-582V Reference Manual

Messages

Your Vertu phone contains a comprehensive messaging function, which enables you
to send and receive a wide variety of messages types. Message types that can be
handled by your phone include:
• Text messages (Short Message Service (SMS) messages)
• Multimedia messages (Multimedia Messaging Service (MMS))
• Emails
• Speech messages
• Presentations (messages including slide shows or video)
• Service messages
• Cell broadcast messages
NOTE: The various types of messages are only available when supported
by your service provider.
To begin with using the feature you need to check the following:
• Insert a valid SIM card in the device and be located in the service area of a cellular
network.
• Verify that the network supports the messaging features you want to use and that
they are activated on your SIM card.
• Define the internet access point settings on the device.
• Define the email account settings on the device (see "Setting up your phone for the
first time" on page 23 and "Email settings" on page 71).
• Define the text message settings on the device.
• Define the multimedia message settings on the device.
Your Vertu phone normally recognises the SIM card provider and automatically
configures some of the message settings during the wizard driven set up process. If
not, you may need to define the settings manually; or contact your service provider to
configure the settings.
Messaging is accessed using the Left Select key on your Vertu phone.
NOTE: Email messages can also be accessed through Messaging.

Message alerts

Text messages are automatically received when your Vertu phone is switched on.
When your phone is off, messages are held by your service provider until the next
time your phone is connected to the network.
When a message arrives on your phone, alerts are displayed on the Home screen.
The presence of a new text message is displayed in the Notification area.
When an email arrives on your phone, and if it belongs to one of the email accounts
displayed on the Home screen, a red icon displays the number of new messages
alongside the email account name. If the email account does not display in the
Information area, then an alert is displayed at the bottom in the Notification area.
Messages can be accessed directly by highlighting the relevant alert box, and
pressing the Middle Select key, which takes you to the relevant message function.
For further information, refer to the "Home screen" on page 25.
