Ericsson DH 318 Digital Cellular Phone
(170-1201) Message Services Faxback Doc. # 35277
Your phone can receive two types of message service, text and voice mail,
if these services are available from your cellular carrier. If you sub-
scribe to either or both services, callers can leave you text messages or
voice messages which the cellular carrier periodically transmits to your
phone.
Text Message Service
Your phone supports Normal, Urgent, and Emergency message categories. The
actual tagging of the text message is dependent on the system used by the
cellular carrier or message center. Your cellular carrier or message center
periodically transmits messages to your phone. If your phone is ON, it
receives the messages as described below. If your phone is not turned ON,
the carrier or message center retains the messages and transmits them again
periodically.
NOTE: The DH-318 can hold up to 5 text messages at one time. The DH-368 and
DH-388 have 2K of text message memory.
