Writing, Sending and Saving a Text Message
Within the Write messages menu you can
write and edit text messages of up to 160 char-
acters. For instructions on how to enter charac-
ters, see chapter ‘Storing a phone number with a
name’.
When you have finished writing your message,
press Options to display the following func-
tions: Send, Send by set (sends the mes-
sage to a preselected set - see below), Save,
(stores the message in the Outbox), Clear
screen (removes all the characters that you
have keyed in from the display).
You can save your own messages in the ‘Outbox’
submenu (Menu 1-2) for use at a later time.
NOTE 1: When sending messages via the
SMS Network Service, your phone may
display the words Message Sent.
This is an indication that the message
has been sent by your phone to the mes-
sage centre number programmed into
your phone.
This is not an indication that the mes-
sage has been received at the intended
destination.
NOTE 2: In some countries it may be pos-
sible to send messages between differ-
ent GSM cellular networks, either within
the same country or internationally.
Check with your home network operator
or service provider to confirm if your
SMS Service is capable of this operation.
Viewing your own messages
Once you are in the Messages menu, scroll to
Outbox and press Select. Scroll to the de-
sired message.
Pressing Read shows the message. Pressing Op-
tions while you are reading a message allows
access to the same functions as ‘Inbox’ (Menu 1-
1), except for Reply.

A setting group or ‘set’ is a collection of the set-
tings required for sending text messages.
You can, for example, send a text message as a
fax (provided that this function is supported by
your operator or service provider) by simply se-
lecting the set in which you have defined the
proper settings for fax transmissions.
Each set has its own submenu:
• Message centre number
Use this menu to store the phone number of
the message centre needed for sending text
messages.
Key in or edit the phone number and confirm
with OK.
• Message sent as
Normally, this menu choice should be set to
Text. Your messaging service may however
offer you the facility of converting your text
messages into alternative formats (e-mail,
fax or paging) which are suitable for the
equipment that will be receiving the mes-
sage. Contact your service provider for avail-
ability of this function.
• Message validity
This network service allows you to set the
length of time that your text messages will be
stored at the message centre while attempts
are made to deliver them to you.
• Rename this set
Allows you to rename the set.
1. The total number of sets depends on how many sets
your SIM card offers.
