WHEN YOUR MEMORY IS FULL
When your phone’s message memory is full, one or more messages of the
lowest priority are automatically deleted. When you receive an emergency
message, messages may be deleted from any of your message folders.
If you have more messages waiting at the network,
blinks on the
Start screen. You can erase old messages to create space for new messages.
• PICTURE MESSAGES
Your phone offers five picture messages that
you can use to send pictures and text to your
friends and family. You can also save a new
picture by replacing an existing picture. For
possible message options, see “Options when
working with messages” on page 48.
Each picture message is made up of several text messages. Therefore,
sending one picture message may cost more than sending one text
message. Contact your service provider for pricing information.
Note: This function can be used only if it is supported by your
network operator or service provider. Only phones that offer
picture message features can receive and display picture messages.
