confirmation for send messages. Use the Menu key to
select or deselect the option and select OK. However,
this option will be temporarily turned off when a long
message is sent, for example a 4-page SMS.

the validity period- 12 hrs/ one day/ one week or max-
imum. On expiry of the specified time period the mes-
sages are erased from the assigned memory.
Memory: enables you to choose the location for stor-
ing received messages. The messages could either be
stored in the SIM card memory or the Mobile phone
memory.
