Services
In order to utilise the communication capabilities
of the Nokia 9000i Communicator, you may have
to subscribe to certain services separately. If the
service requires a separate phone number or spe-
cific settings, they must be stored in the commu-
nicator’s settings. For example,
• Fax sending and receiving requires that fax
service is supported by the network you are
using and activated for your SIM card.
• Using the communicator as a fax modem
requires that data service is supported by the
network you are using and activated for your
SIM card.
• Internet access also requires that data service
is supported by the network you are using and
activated for your SIM card. In addition, to
access the Internet, you must have obtained an
Internet access point from an Internet service
provider (contact your dealer for details).
Document outbox
To help with cellular data transmission (see
chapter 16 "Important safety information: Facts
about cellular data transmission" on page 16-3),
the communicator has an outgoing communica-
tions manager called the Document outbox.
When you send faxes, short messages and mail,
they always go first to the Document outbox. The
outbox prepares your fax, short message or mail
and then sends it through the phone interface. If
the phone interface is off or the cellular signal
strength is inadequate, the document will not be
sent until the phone interface is switched on and
the signal strength is sufficient. You do not have
to worry about whether the phone or fax called
might be off or busy: after the first attempt, the
Document outbox tries to send the document
nine more times.
The Document outbox can be accessed in the Fax,
SMS, Mail and Notes applications’ main views,
where it is shown at the bottom of the folders
list. The Document outbox is discussed in more
detail in chapter 12 "Document outbox" on page
12-1.
There is no document inbox. When you receive
faxes, short messages or fetch mail, they go di-
rectly in their own received document folders.
Each application shows a received document
folder containing documents that can be viewed
in that application. For example, the Fax applica-
tion shows the Received faxes folder and the
Mail application shows the Received mail folder.
Access codes
The communicator uses several access codes to
protect against unauthorised use of your com-
municator and the SIM card. You can make
changes to the access codes in the settings of the
Security application (see chapter 10 "System: Se-
curity" on page 10-2) or in the phone interface
(see chapter 13 "Phone interface: Menus - Secu-
rity options (Menu 5)" on page 13-11).

For access codes that can be changed and are
used by both interfaces, you can make the
changes via either interface.
The communicator interface’s Internet applica-
tions use passwords and user names to protect
from unauthorised use of the Internet and Inter-
net services. These passwords are changed in the
settings of the Internet applications.
The access codes you need most often are the
lock code (provided in the sales package) and the
Personal Identity Number (PIN) code (provided
with the SIM card). The access codes are de-
scribed in more detail in chapter 10 "System: Se-
curity" on page 10-2. See also chapter 13 "Phone
interface: Menus - Security options (Menu 5)" on
page 13-11.
Contact information
All contact information (names, addresses,
phone numbers, E-mail addresses, etc.) you store
goes into the Contacts directory. Each applica-
tion and interface has its own view of the Con-
tacts directory. The information shown depends
on the information the selected application can
use. For example, when you are making a call via
the phone interface, you can view the name and
the phone number(s) of the contact – possible
fax numbers, E-mail addresses, job titles, etc., are
not shown.
You can customise your contact information ac-
cording to your preferences, see chapter 3 "Con-
tacts: Contact cards - Customising contact
cards" on page 3-2. Customising only affects
new contact information; existing contacts will
not be affected. If you customise your contact
card template in an early phase, you will not
have to edit your contact cards manually.
Texts
With the communicator interface’s text editor,
you can create new texts in many applications
(Notes, Fax, SMS, Mail, Calendar). The editor,
however, works in each application in a way that
corresponds to the sending format of that appli-
cation. For example, because short messages
cannot contain text formattings, the SMS editor
removes text formattings. For this reason, the
text editor is called Note editor in the Notes ap-
plication, Mail editor in the Mail application, and
