Using SMSText Messaging

With SMS Text Messaging, you can use a person’s wireless phone number to send instant text messages from your phone to their messaging-ready phone – and they can send messages to you. When you receive a new message, it will automatically display on your phone’s screen. (See “Displaying Pop-up Messages” on page 47.)

In addition, SMS Text Messaging includes a variety of Preset Messages, such as “I’m running late, I’m on my way,” that make composing messages fast and easy. You can also customize your own Preset Messages (up to 160 characters) from your phone.

1.Press Menu (left softkey) to access the main menu. Messaging may also be accessed by pressing up on the navigation key from the idle screen.
