MessagesÑText
Text messages are brief messages that you can send 
and receive (such as 
Where are we meeting?). 
Received messages appear on your phone display or 
in your text message inbox.
You must set up the text message inbox 
before you can send and 
receive these messages. The total number of messages the inbox 
can hold depends on the length of the messages, and the 
number of other messages and drafts stored in your phone.
Note: Your service provider may have already programmed the 
text message inbox settings for you.

Receiving a Text Message
Note: You must set up the text message inbox before you can 
receive text messages. See ÒSetting Up the Text Message InboxÓ 
on page 109.
When you receive a new message, your phone displays the 
X 
(message waiting) indicator and a 
New Message notiÞcation, 
and gives an alert. If reminders are turned on, your phone sends 
a reminder every Þve minutes until you close the new message 
notiÞcation, read the message, or turn off your phone. (See 
ÒRemindersÓ on page 143.)
From the new message notiÞcation:
As memory space for storing messages gets close to full, the 
X 
(message waiting) indicator ßashes and your phone displays 
Memory is Low! when you receive a new message. When no 
more messages can be stored, your phone displays 
Memory is 
Full!
 and the network temporarily holds your new messages.
