the message, press Options, scroll to Settings, then press Select. To select
an option, Mark it. To deselect an option, Unmark it.

message or a similar notification will appear on the screen of the

•
Delivery note: When the recipient receives your message, the network
will send you a delivery note. If you address the message to more than
one recipient, you will receive a separate delivery note for each recipient.

recipient can call you.
After you mark and unmark the options, press Back. The message Save

Message delivery notification
When you send a message, you can ask to be notified when the message
is received. This notification is called a delivery note. When the recipient
gets your message, the network sends you a delivery note. You will receive
a separate delivery note for each recipient.

Send and receive text messages
Note: When sending messages via the SMS network service, your
phone may display the words “Message Sent”. This is an indication
that the message has been sent by your phone to the message center
number programmed into your phone. This is not an indication that
the message has been received at the intended destination. For more
details about SMS, check with your service provider.
Urgent mobile messages
You can assign an urgent priority level to a mobile message. When you
receive an urgent mobile message, Urgent appears in the message header.
When you send an urgent mobile message, a similar notification appears
on the recipient’s phone or other device if it supports this feature.
