General

The messaging feature lets you:
• Send short text messages (according to user defined or
predefined templates).
• Send status messages.
• Receive messages.
A status is a number corresponding to a pre-programmed
message in a list your group recognises. A text message is a
short text containing up to 140 characters. Each message is
stamped with the date and time it was left in the inbox.
If configured by your Service Provider it is only possible to send
a message to a private number that is stored in the Contacts list.
Sending a Text Message
• It is not possible to send a status or text message in TXI
Mode.
• It is not possible to send a status or text message during a
call in DMO.
You can send messages based on user defined templates or
send messages based on predefined templates.
The predefined templates are programmed into your
MTP850 Ex/MTP810 Ex by your Service Provider. The user
defined templates are Inbox messages or, new Outbox
messages that you choose to store in your MTP850 Ex/
MTP810 Ex memory. User defined messages may also be
programmed into your MTP850 Ex/MTP810 Ex.
You can send a message when the terminal is idle or during a
Group/Emergency/Broadcast Call (if configured).
If configured, a message will alert you of an incoming Group/
Emergency/Broadcast call, of your joining it, or of its end.
