Connect your device to a webOS smartphone

To send and receive text messages on your device, you must use Bluetooth to pair and connect your device and a webOS smartphone. You can do this manually from the Bluetooth app (see Make a pairing request to another device and Connect with a paired device) or, if your device and smartphone share the same HP webOS Account, you can use Touch to Share to create a Bluetooth connection (see Pair with an HP webOS smartphone using Touch to Share).

You can also make the pairing request or connection from the Messaging app.
