Using SMS Voice Messaging

In addition to sending and receiving SMS Text messages, your phone is enabled with SMS Voice Messaging. With SMS Voice Messaging, you can quickly and easily send a voicemail message to other SMS-enabled phones or to working email addresses without making a phone call. Just record a message and send it directly to the recipient’s phone messaging inbox.

You can send SMS Voice messages to up 10 recipients simultaneously. You can even send an SMS Voice message to yourself, making it an easy way to send yourself reminders and notes. SMS Voice messages are stored right on your phone, there is no need to call your voicemail to retrieve them.

Activating SMS Voice Messaging

When you first turn on your phone, you will find an SMS Voice message in your SMS Voice Inbox. Listen to the message to get a quick overview of your SMS Voice features.
