Texting on the MP02
The MP02 has a minimalist texting
system; its focus is on making phone
calls, which are generally more efficient.
It’s often useful to explain to other
people that calls are preferred, for
instance when exchanging contact details.
Nevertheless, texting can be useful when
there is limited signal coverage, low
battery charge, in a noisy (or very quiet)
environment, etc.
Messages are grouped into threads. This
means that all messages sent to and
received from the same number/Contact
are presented together in chronological
order, newest at the bottom. Sent
messages are shown on the right of the
screen and received messages are shown
on the left.
See p 11 for information about using the
MP02’s keypad.
Composing and sending a message
• Press the Message key.
• Select New message.
• Select a recipient from the Contacts
list (if necessary, use the Search
feature by entering the first letter or
two of a Contact’s name). If the
Contact has multiple numbers, select
one from the list.
• Alternatively, select Add number to
enter a phone number manually (press
the key after this is done).
• Write the message, and press the
key when finished.
• Check that the recipient is correct and
– with the recipient highlighted – press
the key. The message will now be
sent.
• If there is a problem with sending the
message (e.g. lack of mobile signal), it
will be saved as a draft message and a
Notification will be created, offering
the option of retrying.
Incoming messages
• When a message is received, its sender
will appear at the top of the list of
messages that is shown when the
Messages key is pressed. It will have a
number in a circle next to it,
representing how many unread
messages from that sender there are.
• A Notification will be created and
(depending on what is happening with
the phone at the time) a full-screen
announcement will appear.
• The message can be opened by
selecting the Notification, by pressing
the key while the full-screen
announcement is showing, or by
pressing the Messages key and
selecting the sender in the list of
Messages that will appear.
• The Notification can be exited by
pressing the End or Back key; the
full-screen announcement can be
dismissed in the same way, or by
selecting Dismiss in the Options menu.
• The sender of the message can be
called by selecting their message in the
list and pressing the Call key.
Message threads
• Message threads can be accessed via
the list that appears when the
Messages key is pressed.
• To view a thread, select the sender.
Use the Up and Down keys to scroll
through the series of messages – each
message will expand in turn – and also
to scroll through the messages
themselves if they are too long to fit
on the screen.
• To expand a single message, press the
l. key while it is highlighted. Press the
Back key to return to the message
thread.
