Messaging overview

BEFORE YOU BEGIN Do the following:

Make sure your phone is on before you send or receive messages.

For delivery of Outlook email using Direct Push Technology, install the software from your Getting Started CD. This feature also requires an Exchange Server 2003 upgrade to Service Pack 2.

You can use the Messaging application to exchange email or brief text messages (SMS) with other wireless devices and email addresses that support these forms of messaging. You can also exchange instant messages (IM) with Pocket MSN. Before you use your Palm® Treo™ 700wx smartphone to send or receive messages, consult your wireless service provider for pricing and availability of email, text, and data services.
