Tapping on
SMS Configuration
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
, messages beginning with
that string will not be shown in either the
Inbox
or
Outbox
. In this way, messages intended
for another application running on the same device can be hidden.
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.
