• YOUR PHONE’S MEMORY

You can save names and numbers in the phone’s internal memory, in the
SIM card memory or in a combination of the two. The SIM icon

appears when the phone book entry is saved in SIM memory.

Note: The phone’s memory is dynamic. The shorter the names and
numbers are, the more entries you can store in the phone book. The
phone’s memory can hold a maximum range of 125 to 500 names,
depending on the number of characters used for each name,
number or text entry.
