The messaging feature lets you:
• Send short text messages (according to user defined or
predefined templates).

• Receive messages.
A status is a number corresponding to a pre-programmed
message in a list your group recognises. A text message is a
short text containing up to 140 characters. Each message is

Sending a Text Message
You can send messages based on user defined templates or
send messages based on predefined templates.
The predefined templates are programmed into your
MTP850 Ex/MTP810 Ex by your Service Provider. The user
defined templates are Inbox messages or, new Outbox
messages that you choose to store in your MTP850 Ex/
MTP810 Ex memory. User defined messages may also be
programmed into your MTP850 Ex/MTP810 Ex.
You can send a message when the terminal is idle or during a
Group/Emergency/Broadcast Call (if configured).
If configured, a message will alert you of an incoming Group/
Emergency/Broadcast call, of your joining it, or of its end.
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.
