Your Phone’s Settings
Messaging Settings
Staying connected to your friends and family has never been
easier. With your phone’s advanced messaging capabilities,
you can send and receive messages without placing a voice
call. (See “Using SMS Text Messaging” on page 163, and
“Using SMS Voice Messaging” on page 165 for more
information.)
Your phone’s messaging settings make text messaging even
faster and easier by letting you decide how you would like to
be notified of new messages and what callback number to
include with your message. Your phone can automatically
adding a custom signature to each message. You can even
create your own preset messages.
Setting Message Alerts
When new messages arrive, you can choose to have your
phone notify you by playing an audible alert. You can choose
different alerts for Text Messages, SMS Voice, and Picture
Mail. See “Selecting Ringer Types for Messages” on page 44.
