If your phone is powered on, it notifies you of 
received messages in the following ways:

vibrates.
Your phone beeps and/or vibrates three 
times to inform you of an incoming message. 
See page 98 to set your phone’s alert.

The message icon (o) is displayed.
•
The message is displayed immediately if 
the message is a fax or voicemail notification 
message. The message remains on the 
display for several seconds.

How Messages Are Stored
Your phone stores all messages on your SIM card. 
The total number of messages that you can store 
depends on your service provider.
If the message indicator is flashing, your SIM card is 
full. See “Delete Messages” on page 91 to make 
room for the new message.
