About mobile messages
A mobile message is a message in the form of text that appears
on your phone’s screen. You can address outgoing messages
to email addresses and phone numbers. The recipient of your
message typically receives it via:
•a
phone
that supports mobile messaging
•a
pager
the
internet
(through an email client)
Message storage
Messages are stored in your phone in folders:
Inbox
- Messages (whether read or unread) that you
have received and have neither erased nor saved.
Outbox
- Messages that you sent (or that you have
created then saved, intending to send later).
Saved
- Messages that were in the Inbox or Outbox
and which you have saved.

shared by all folders). However, the total number of stored
messages depends on message length. If your phone’s memory

folder, the oldest read message in the Inbox folder is
deleted. If there are no read messages in the Inbox,
No space: message waiting
or a similar message
appears, prompting you to delete messages from
one of the other folders. The network will resend the
message later.
