Messaging Settings
Your device’s advanced messaging capabilities let you
send and receive many different kinds of text
messages without placing a voice call. (For more
information, see “Accessing Email Messages” on
page 184.)
Messaging settings allow you to decide how you would
like to be notified of new messages and create your
own preset messages.
Setting Message Notification
When you receive a message, your device notifies you
by displaying an icon on your display screen. You can
also choose to vibrate the device and have the screen
flash when you receive a message.
Note: Turning Location on will allow the network to detect
your position using GPS technology, making some
Sprint applications and services easier to use. Turning
Location off will disable the GPS location function for
all purposes except 911, but will not hide your general
location based on the cell site serving your call. No
application or service may use your location without
your request or permission. GPS-enhanced 911 is not
available in all areas.
