Text messages

text message (or from the phone sending the SMS message) and
provides you with options to Save the number to your phone book,
Add to name (add to existing phone book entry), Send message
(to the number) or Call.

About message memory

Messages are stored in the following locations:

Inbox - stores new messages and read messages.

Outbox - saves copies of all sent messages or messages waiting to
be sent (in the event the network is temporarily unavailable).

Archive - used to file read messages and sent messages for long-
term storage.

A blinking

can receive, save, or send any new messages, you must delete older messages
from your Inbox, Outbox, or the Archive folder.
