With the text message network service you can receive text

phone or a Web site set up by your service provider.
Your phone can handle messages of up to about 250
characters, and has space to receive up to about 30
messages, depending on the length of each one.
Contact your service provider for more information about
this network service.
Reading messages
When you receive a text message, the phone displays the
indicator, either Message received or New
emergency message (if an emergency message has been
received), and makes a sound (depending on the message
alert tone; see ‘Message alert tone’ on page 25).
To read the message, press Read. This takes you to the
Inbox, with the new message selected. Press Read again. If
necessary, use the scroll keys to read the entire message.
After reaching the end of the message, use the scroll keys to
view the sender’s name or phone number, and the date and
time the message was received.

Several options are available while you’re reading a
message. Just press Options, scroll to the one you want,
then press OK.
Erase deletes the message. Press OK to confirm the deletion
(or to cancel).
Use number calls any phone number included in the
message. If more than one number was included, a list of
numbers is displayed. Choose one and press Call.
Save saves the message in the Saved folder.
