How to receive text messages

When a text message arrives, your phone will alert you - usually by making a sound and displaying a small picture of an envelope or the words Text Message.

• Use the text messages menu on your phone to read and save your message
• You can read messages immediately and save them in your phone's memory
• From time to time you should delete old messages. Otherwise, if the phone's memory is full, you won't be able to receive any more messages
