Cell phones manufactured by LG are compatible with several types of messaging services, including text messaging with support for media files, such as pictures and video, and email messaging. The cell phone alerts you when you receive a message, according to the settings you adjust on your phone. You can access your message in-box, out-box and messages you have drafted and saved to your phone.
