SMS Messages

Short Message Service (SMS) messages are short text messages, also called text and numeric messages. You can send SMS messages through any email account or on nextel.com.

Your phone receives SMS messages sent to its SMS address, but does not send SMS messages.

Your phone's SMS address is your PTN@page.nextel.com. Your PTN is your 10-digit Personal Telephone Number.

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

Your phone attempts to deliver these messages for up to 7 days.
