A WORD ABOUT MESSAGES
Let’s talk about one of the biggest advantages of Omnipoint digital service over analog cellular service: with Omnipoint, your handset can receive text messages.
That means you’re always within reach – because your family, friends and coworkers will be able to send messages to you even if you’re busy on another call, your handset is off, or you’re out of the Omnipoint coverage area.
