5. 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," p.72.
• The e-mail settings must be defined. See "E-mail account settings," p.29.
• The short message settings must be defined. See "Text message settings," p.32.
• The multimedia message settings must be defined. See "Multimedia message account settings," p.34.
Contact your service provider, network operator or Internet service operator for the correct settings.
Tip: When you take your Nokia 9300 into use, it may recognize the SIM card provider and configure the correct text
message, multimedia message, and GPRS settings automatically. You may need to contact your network operator to
activate multimedia messages and GPRS before they become available.
Messaging center
The main view of Messaging has two frames: the list of folders on the left, and the messages from the selected folder on the
right. Press the tab key to move between the frames.
Folders in the Messaging main view:
• Inbox — contains all received messages except e-mails and SIM card and cell broadcast messages. E-mail messages are stored
in the remote mailbox.
• Outbox — contains messages waiting to be sent.
• Drafts — stores draft messages that have not been sent.
• Sent — stores messages that have been sent, except those sent using Bluetooth.
Any remote mailboxes that you define are shown last in the list of folders.
