Reading messages

When you receive a text message, the phone displays the

indicator, either Message received or New

emergency message (if an emergency message has been
received), and makes a sound (depending on the message
alert tone; see page 22).

To read the message, press Read. This takes you to the
Inbox, with the new message selected. Press Read again.
If necessary, use the scroll keys to read the entire message.

After reaching the end of the message, use the scroll keys to
view the sender’s name or phone number, and the date and
time the message was received.

Options when reading messages

Several options are available while you’re reading a
message. Just press Options, scroll to the one you want,
then press OK.

Read next allows you to read the next message.

Erase deletes the message. Press OK to confirm the deletion
(or

to cancel).

Save saves the message in the Saved folder.

Call back calls any displayed phone number included in the
message. If more than one number was included, a list of
numbers is displayed. Choose one and press Call.

When you’ve seen the last new message, the

indicator

disappears.
