Chapter 10: Customizing your handheld’s options
226 BlackBerry Wireless Handheld
Service Book
This screen shows the service books on your handheld. Refer to the
Getting Started
Guide
for more information on using service books on your handheld.
SIM Card
On the SIM Card screen, you can view subscriber data, information about your
location and network, and your handheld’s SMS-compatible phone number.
You can also enable, disable, and change your PIN code. Refer to "Using SIM card
security" on page 218 for more information.
SMS
You can set the following options as the default options for every SMS message
that you send or receive.
Leave messages on SIM Card: Select whether you want incoming SMS messages
to be saved on your SIM card. By default, this option is set to Yes.
Delivery Reports: Select whether you want to be notified when your SMS
message is delivered to the contact. By default, this option is set to Off.
Validity Period: Set the amount of time that the service center keeps the SMS
message if it cannot be delivered to your contact immediately. By default, this
option is set to Max.
Sent As: Set the type of SMS message to send. By default, this option is set to Text.
Note: With this option set to Yes, received SMS messages remain on your SIM card. If
you do not delete SMS messages from your Messages screen on a regular basis, there
might not be enough space on your SIM card to accept incoming SMS messages. If this
is the case, you are prompted to delete some SMS messages before your handheld can
receive any new SMS messages. Incoming SMS messages are held at the network until
there is enough space on your SIM card to accept them.
If you remove your SIM card from your handheld and insert a different one, SMS
messages that are saved on the first SIM card no longer appear on the Messages screen.
If you set this field to No, SMS messages are deleted from the SIM card after they appear
on the Messages screen. When you delete an SMS message from your handheld’s
Messages screen, it is deleted from your SIM card.
