Delivery note: When the recipient receives your message, the network
will send you a delivery note. If you address the message to more than
one recipient, you will receive a separate delivery note for each recipient.

Callback no.: Allows you to enter a phone number at which the
recipient can call you.

After you mark and unmark the options, press Back. The message Save
changes?
appears. To accept the changes that you made to the settings,

Message delivery notification

When you send a message, you can ask to be notified when the message
is received. This notification is called a delivery note. When the recipient
gets your message, the network sends you a delivery note. You will receive
a separate delivery note for each recipient.

Urgent mobile messages

You can assign an urgent priority level to a mobile message. When you
receive an urgent mobile message, Urgent appears in the message header.
When you send an urgent mobile message, a similar notification appears
on the recipient’s phone or other device if it supports this feature.

Note: To create a number-only message, see the next topic in this

section.

The callback number (Callback no.) is the phone number at which you want
