About mobile messages
You can receive a message in the form of text that appears
on your phone’s screen. Messages are managed by your service
provider’s message center. The person who sends you a message
usually sends it via another phone (one which allows the user
to send and receive mobile messages) or through email on
the internet.
A message consists of a header and a body. The header may
contain the sender’s address and the date that the message
was sent. The body contains the main part of the message. If
you receive a message that was sent via email, the message
subject (title) may appear at the beginning of the message.
Messages are stored in folders:
•
Inbox
- Messages (whether read or unread) that you
have neither erased nor saved.
•
Outbox
- Messages that you sent (if supported by
your service provider).
•
Saved
- Messages that you have saved.
The sender may assign a priority level to their message:
•Urgent
•
Emergency
- Sent only by a network operator.
Your phone can store as many as 90 messages (memory is
shared by all folders). The total number of stored messages
depends on message length.
If your phone’s memory is full when you receive a text
message, one or more existing messages will automatically
be deleted to make room for the new message. The priority
level assigned to the received message determines which
message is deleted:
• Normal (non-emergency) messages - When a normal
message is received, the oldest read message in the
Inbox is deleted.
