General
The messaging feature lets you:
• Send text messages (free text or according to user defined 
or predefined templates).
• Send status messages.
• Receive messages.
A status is a number corresponding to a pre-programmed 
message in a list your group recognises. A text message is a 
text containing up to 1000 characters. There are two places 
where you can find text messages:
• Inbox - stores all incoming messages.
Outbox - stores all outgoing messages. 
Sending a Text Message
You can send new messages, send messages based on user 
defined templates or send messages based on predefined 
templates.
The predefined templates are programmed into your 
MTM800E by your Service Provider. The user defined 
templates can be Inbox messages or new Outbox messages 
that you choose to store in your MTM800E memory. User 
defined messages may also be programmed into your 
MTM800E.
If configured by your Service Provider it is only possible to send 
a message to a private number that is stored in the Contacts list.
• It is not possible to send a status or text message in TXI 
Mode.
• It is not possible to send a status or text message during a 
call in DMO.
