How do I read and reply to a text message on my Nokia phone?

Read text messages and pages any time

From the Start screen,

1. Press Menu 2 2 (Menu > Messages >  Text messages).
2. With message header on screen, press Read.
3. Press the Down arrow key to read the message.

The messages are in the order that they were received or stored. New messages are shown first, in their order of priority, then old messages, in their chronological order.

• "LOCKED" indicates that you've locked the message or page. It will not be overwritten even if there's no space remaining in your phone's and there's an attempt to deliver a new message to your phone. New messages or pages will override old unlocked messages or pages when there is no space remaining in your phone for new text messages.

Reading text messages immediately

1. Press Options.
2. Press the Down arrow key to the option you want.
• Read next - shows the next message.
• Erase - deletes the current message from memory. 
• Lock/Unlock - allows you to lock and unlock messages. 
• Call back - displays the first number from the current message and calls that number. You can also just press either the SND (or TALK) key while the message is displayed.
3. Press OK.

Note: When a new message arrives and the message memory is full, the new message automatically overrides old messages unless they are locked.
