Creating SMS messages
SMS Messaging enables you to create short text messages and to send them to a mobile phone
number or an e-mail address. If a message exceeds 160 characters, SMS Messaging
automatically divides the text into multiple messages when it sends the message. As you create
a message, the status bar at the top of the screen indicates how many message s will be sent and
the number of characters in each message.
To save time while creating messages, you can insert predefined text from a boilerpla te. Some
boilerplates ask you to enter information such as a meeting time or place . Using a boilerplate is
similar to filling in the blanks on a form letter instead of writing a letter from scratch. You can easil y
combine the boilerplate text with your own text to personalize your message.
You can create a message at any time, but if you send a message when you are outside a
coverage area, your Treo places the message in the Pending category and sends it automatically
when you return to a coverage area. While a message is in the Pending category, you can edit or
delete it before it is sent.
To create an SMS text message:
1. From any SMS Messaging list view, press Menu .
2. Under Message, select New (/N).
Note: If you defined a signature, it automatically appears at the end of your message. See
page 135 for details on defining a signature.
