Messaging Settings
Staying connected to your friends and family has never been 
easier. With your phone’s advanced messaging capabilities, 
you can send and receive  messages without placing a voice 
call. (See “Using SMS Text Messaging” on page 171, and 
“Using SMS Voice Messaging” on page 173 for more 
information.) 
Your phone’s messaging settings make text messaging even 
faster and easier by letting you decide how you would like to 
be notified of new messages and what callback number to 
include with your message. Your phone can automatically 
adding a custom signature to each message. You can even 
create your own preset messages.
