Using SMS Text Messaging

With SMS Text Messaging, you can send instant text messages from your phone to other messaging-ready phones

— and they can send messages to you.

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.
