Text Messaging (SMS)
With text messaging (SMS), you can receive instant text
messages from another messaging-ready phone or
from an email account. When you receive a new
message, an alert displays on your phone’s screen.
Your phone's SMS address is PTN@page.nextel.com.
Your PTN is your ten-digit Personal Telephone Number.
Note Messages are stored in your phone using the same
memory space used to store Java applications data,
voice records, ring tones, pictures, and wallpaper
images. Deleting some of these other items frees
memory for messages.
Note Most traditional phone-to-phone text messages
arrive as MMS messages on your i576. Your phone
can send and receive MMS messages.
Your phone can receive SMS text messages, but it
cannot send them.
