    Default Privacy mode on texts

    I just got a Verizon Treo 650. I was wondering if there is a way to hide the text alert when the text is first received. I know you can block the MMS, but theres no option for the texts. Any ideas?

    I know the cingular 650 can do this. Does anyone know why verizon doesn't have this option?

    Just go to your message screen, push the menu button, go to options, over there to preferences, and you will find 3 menus:
    1- Message
    2- Chat
    3- Network

    In the message menu you will find the option of privacy mode (hide text), just select that, and everytime that you recieve a text message, it wont como up!!!!, it will appera in the screen that you have a new text message, and you must select to read inmediatly or later.

    Hope that help you.


    Regards.

    Under my preferences, i only have messages. and chat. And i under the messages part, i only have

    Confirm message deletions

    Return to list view after delete

    Addressing new messages
    Typing enters digits

    No where on my screen does it say i can hide my incoming messages.....on my cingular treo650, i could do this, but on the verizon one i can't. Is there anyway i can?
