Notes on writing and sending an SMS message
If you are interrupted as you are writing (by a call, an incoming SMS or because the 
handset changes to idle status because of prolonged inactivity), the SMS is 
automatically stored in the outgoing message list. You can continue writing the SMS 
later (page 53). 
Text messages that cannot be sent are assigned an error status (page 59) and are placed 
in the incoming message list.
Text messages are only stored automatically if sending is interrupted. If you wish to 
store a message then you must do so before it is sent.
