SMS messages - frequently asked questions • Why can't I send SMS messages? • Can I verify that my SMS message has reached its recipients? • How do I display more items in an SMS message thread? • Can I set how SMS messages display? • Can I remove the prompt that appears before I delete messages? • Why were some of my messages deleted from the handheld? • Why aren't all of the SMS options described appearing on my handheld? • What are the Validity Period, Sent As, and Network to Send Over fields in the SMS options? • How do I change how long messages remain in the messages list? Why can't I send SMS messages? Verify that your handheld radio is turned on and that you are in an area of sufficient wireless coverage. For more information on wireless coverage levels, refer to the printed documentation that accompanied your handheld. If you send a message and you are not in an area of sufficient wireless coverage, the handheld sends the message when you return to an area of sufficient wireless coverage. Verify that fixed dialing number mode is not enabled. To disable FDN mode, in the phone options, click FDN Phone List. Click the trackwheel. Click Disable FDN mode. If you still cannot send SMS messages, verify that your plan supports sending and receiving SMS messages. For more information, contact your service provider. Can I verify that my SMS message has reached its recipients? Yes. In the handheld options, click SMS. Set the Delivery Reports field to On. When your SMS message reaches its recipient, a D appears beside the check mark in the messages list. How do I display more items in an SMS message thread? In the handheld options, click SMS. In the Number of Previous Items field, set how many previous SMS messages from the thread should appear. Note: If, in the handheld options on the SMS screen, you have set the SMS View field to Conversational, all of the messages in the thread display by default. Can I set how SMS messages display? Yes. In the handheld options, click SMS. If you want SMS messages within a thread to display as separate entries in the message list, set the Message List option to Show all. If you want to change the format of SMS messages so that you can type a response in the same screen that you view the message, set the SMS View field to Conversational. 93
