Additional information about messaging
•Memory for storing messages is divided between SIM card memory and
the phone's own memory. In the first level of the Messages menu, except
for the SIM Folder option, messages saved in Inbox, Outbox, and Drafts
are all stored in the phone's memory.
•When a new message is received, or when there are unread messages in
the phone's or SIM card's memory, the icon will appear in the external
display's status bar; the main display will show the icon in its status bar
to remind you that you have unread messages.
•When a message has arrived, it will be saved either to the the phone's
memory or to your SIM card's memory, depending on the preferred
memory you have selected in the menu: Messages → Message Settings
→ Short Message Settings → Save New Msg To (See page 71).
Messages saved to the phone's memory will be stored in the menu:
Messages → Inbox; messages saved to your SIM card's memory will be
stored in the menu: Messages → SIM Folder → Inbox.
•If the phone's memory is already full, any new messages will remain stored
in the SIM card's memory (in the menu Messages → SIM Folder →
Inbox) until the SIM card's memory is itself full.
