6. Messaging
In Messaging, you can create, send, receive, view, edit, and organize text messages, multimedia messages, e-mail messages,
fax messages, and special text messages containing data, such as settings or bookmarks of Web pages. You can also receive
messages and data using Bluetooth or Infrared, receive service messages, cell broadcast messages, and send service
commands.
Before you can send or receive messages:
• The cover phone must be switched on, the device must have a valid SIM card installed, and you must be located in a
service area of the cellular network. The device cover can either be open or closed.
• The network you are using must support fax calls, data calls, and the Short Message Service if you want to use these.
• The fax, data and Short Message Service must be activated for your SIM card.
• The Internet access point (IAP) settings must be defined.
See Internet setup on page 66.
• The e-mail settings must be defined.
See E-mail account settings on page 35.
• The short message settings must be defined.
See Text message settings on page 37.
• The multimedia message settings must be defined.
See Multimedia message account settings on page 39.
Contact your service provider, network operator or Internet service operator for the correct settings.
Tip: In most cases your Nokia 9500 Communicator automatically contains settings for text messages, multimedia
messages, and GPRS when you take it into use. You may need to contact your network operator to activate
multimedia messages and GPRS before they become available.
