Text and Numeric Messages

With mobile originated text messaging, you can send and receive short text messages to and from other Mike handsets. Messages you receive appear on your handset’s display and in the text message inbox.

If your handset is powered off when you receive a message, your handset notifies you the next time you power it on. If you are out of your coverage area, your handset alerts you when you return to your coverage area.

Tip: While reading a text and numeric message that contains a phone number, you can press s to call that number.
