If you have subscribed to a messaging service through your wireless provider, you
can send and receive messages to compatible devices that also subscribe to a
compatible message service. You may also be able to send and receive picture
messages and e-mail messages.

Important: Exercise caution opening messages. Messages may contain
malicious software or otherwise be harmful to your device or PC. Do not
open any attachment if you are not sure of the trustworthiness of
the sender.

. This is an

indication that the message has been sent by your device to the message center
number programmed into your device. This is not an indication that the message
has been received at the intended destination. For more details about messaging

Automate voice mail

To automatically access your voicemail messages, you can insert special characters
called dialing codes into phone numbers and save the number to a 1-touch dialing
location. Dialing codes instruct the receiving system to pause, wait, bypass, or
accept the numbers that follow them in the dialing string.

of common operations. Please check with your service provider for specific
instructions for using your voice mail service.

Voice mailbox number and process

1. Write down your voice mailbox number.

2. Call and check your voice mail as you normally would.

that each voice mail service varies. Your steps may resemble the following:

Dial 2145551212, pause 5 seconds, press 1, pause 2 seconds, press 1234 and *.

Be precise; you need this information to set up your voice mail with dialing codes.

Dialing codes

Press * repeatedly to cycle through dialing codes. When the desired code appears
in the display, pause briefly and the code is inserted into the dialing string.

The following dialing codes are available:

Dialing code

Pauses for 2.5 seconds before sending any numbers
that follow.

numbers or codes that follow.

Picture messages

Picture messaging is a network service. If your wireless service provider supports
this feature, your device comes with five preloaded pictures. You can, however,
over-write any of the five pictures that come with your device. Pictures can be
attached to a message and sent using text messaging to compatible devices or
PCs. Picture messages behave the same as text messages, but pictures take up
more space than text. Pictures are stored in the templates folder at

Menu

.

Note: Picture message function can be used only if it is supported by your
network operator or service provider. Only compatible devices that offer picture
message features can receive and display picture messages.

from being copied, modified, transferred, or forwarded.
