Short Message Service (SMS) is a network service that requires network support. To send and/or receive
short messages, you may need to apply for this service first from the network operator.
This mobile phone supports short message transmission. A short message is first sent to the short message
service center in the network and then forwarded to the destination user. If the destination user does not
power on its mobile phone or cannot receive short messages (for example, the memory is full), the network
will temporarily save this message for a period of time set by the user and the service provider.
The mobile phone can send and receive a chain of text short messages. The sending of a chain of text
messages, however, may incur more charges. For further information, please consult the service provider.
If the short message memory is full, a blinking SMS icon appears on the top of the screen. To normally
receive short messages, you need to delete some of the existing short messages.
If the destination user has received the short message you sent and the short message delivery report function
is activated, the phone will give off a message report alert tone.
Note: When a short message is sent through the network, the mobile phone may give a prompt message
indicating that the short message has been sent. This indicates that the mobile phone has sent the short
message to the short message service center number set in the mobile phone but does not imply that the
destination user has received the short message. For further information, consult the service provider
