Sending Text Messages to a Group
With your phone you can send text messages to a pre-defined group.
You need to specify a group and save it in your phone book before
you can send text messages to a group. When you send text messages
to a group, you will be charged for each member included in that
group.

Customizing Your Text Messages
Message Type
Your phone can send different types of messages. Your network
operator’s service center may offer the option of converting a text
message into a format (e-mail, fax, etc.) that suits the equipment that
is going to receive the message. Please contact your network operator
to find out which message types you can use and how.
You can set a standard message type that you want to use or you can
turn on a Set on Send option, which means that you are asked to
select which message type you want to send, before sending it.

Validity Period
Validity Period
is a network dependent feature. If your message cannot
be delivered because the recipient has turned off the phone, your
service center can save the message to send it later. If the service center
has not been able to reach the recipient within a certain time, the
message will be deleted. You can set a validity period as your standard
or you can turn on a Set on Send option, which means that you are
asked to set the validity period before sending the message.

the Request Reply option. When this function is on, you are asked
to choose if you want the recipient to reply or not before your message

Templates for Text Messages
Templates are predefined messages that make sending an SMS much
easier. You can create you own templates for messages that you
frequently send. For instance, “Please call me back” or “I’ll be late for
dinner.” You can also create templates that give you the option of filling
in specific information. For instance, “I will be ___ minutes late for
the meeting on ___.”
