Managing message conversations
Text and picture messages that are sent to and received from a contact (or a number) are
grouped into conversations or message threads in the All messages screen. Threaded text or
picture messages let you see exchanged messages (similar to a chat program) with a contact
on the screen.
Reading a text message
Do one of the following:
On the All messages screen, tap the text message or message thread to open and read it.
If you have a new message notification, press and hold the status bar, and then slide the
status bar down to open the Notifications panel. Tap the new message to open and read it.
To return to the All messages screen from a text message thread, press MENU and then tap All
messages.

information about contacts, see the Contacts chapter.
If the attachment is a vCalendar file, you can choose the calendar where you want to save the
event. For information on using Calendar, see the Calendar chapter.

browser.
If a message contains a phone number, tap the message and then tap the phone number to dial the

When Auto-retrieve in MMS settings is disabled, only the message header is downloaded. To download
the entire message, tap the Download button at the right side of the message. For details, see

If you are concerned about the size of your data downloads, check the picture message size before
you download it.
