Reading Messages.
> You’ll first see the message header on your display. Message
headers contain the following information:
• “NEW” indicates an unread message. You’ll also see the
date and time the message was sent.
• “OLD” tells you that a message has already been read.
• “OLD: OWN OR EDITED” says that the message was
created or changed by you.
> You’ll see a maximum of 10 characters per line of the message.
To scroll forward, press the right ARROW key. To scroll
backward, press the left ARROW key.
> At the end of the message, the word “Erase?” will appear on
your display. Press to erase the message.
> Next you will see the prompt “Text Reply?” Press unless
the message you just read was a short e-mail sent from another
Omnipoint handset, and you want to immediately send a short
e-mail back to that handset. In that case, press and
follow the instructions on p. 34 for sending short e-mail
messages.
> Next, you’ll see the prompt “Store?” Press to store the
message on your SIM Card.

Text Message Storage Capacity.
All text messages that you receive are saved in your handset memory
or your SIM Card memory.
• Memory capacity is limited, so in most cases you should
delete your messages as soon as you read them.
• If your memory is full, the ENVELOPE symbol on your
handset display will begin blinking. Any new messages will
be stored by Omnipoint up to 14 days and sent to your
handset once you have deleted messages to make room for
more.
(Refer to your User’s Manual for more details on message storage in
your handset or SIM Card memory.)
