CHAPTER 15

Using SMS
The SMS application enables you to send and receive short text messages
using your handheld. The messages are sent to a mobile phone, using the
phone number as an address.
Most GSM mobile phone service providers have supported Short Message Service
technology for quite a while, and billions of SMS messages are exchanged each
month. Use SMS to do the following:
Send messages to mobile phones.
Review SMS messages.
Use the keyboard on your handheld to quickly create SMS messages.
Receive records associated with your other handheld applications. For
example, your boss can send you a Date Book event for a meeting you need to
attend. When you receive the message, you can choose to add it to your Date
Book or view the raw data as a text message.
IMPORTANT Whenever you use the wireless features of your handheld, please
observe the guidelines or prohibitions on the use of wireless devices in your current
location. For example, when you are on an airplane, do not turn on your radio at
times when government or airline regulations prohibit the use of cellular phones.
You can, of course, use all other applications of your handheld in accordance with
airline regulations for electronic devices.
