Voice
The Open button opens the selected message in a new window such that the entire message
can be read including the original formatting (line breaks are replaced by spaces in the Inbox
message list). Pressing the Reply button opens the new message dialog as described above,
except the destination phone number is filled in already.
B.1.5.3 Outbox
Tapping on the Outbox button opens the list of sent messages. Otherwise the Outbox
behaves exactly as the Inbox described above. The date and time when a message was sent
is not available for GSM modems.
B.1.5.4 SMS Configuration
Tapping on the SMS Configuration button opens the SMS configuration dialog. The SMS
Centre address follows the same rules as the recipient's phone number in the New message
dialog. The message validity period parameter is sent to the SMS Centre with each message
sent subsequently and instructs the SMS Centre on how long it should attempt to deliver the
message to the recipient (the SMS Centre may impose an upper limit on the validity period
regardless of the setting).
The user interface tries to keep the SMS storage location available for a new incoming
message if the Delete oldest message when full checkbox is checked. In this case, when a
new message arrives and the SMS storage becomes full, the oldest received message is de-
leted. If any string is entered as the Message Suppression Prefix, then messages beginning
with that string will not be shown in either the Inbox or Outbox. In this way messages in-
tended for another application running on the same device can be hidden from the user, as
long as those messages begin with the string configured here.
B.1.6 Voice
The Voic e tab is described in detail under “Voice – Using The Phone Dialer” on page 20.
Note: The date and time formats can be changed through the Region and Language menu
in Control Panel. For a new date or time format to take effect the Inbox has to be
closed and re-opened.
Note: Only certain discrete validity period values can be sent and thus the validity period
is rounded to the nearest allowed value. The next time the SMS configuration dialog
is opened the rounded value is shown.
