Using SMS Text Messaging

With SMS Text Messaging, you can use a person’s wireless phone number to send instant text messages from your Sprint PCS Phone to their messaging-ready phone – and they can send messages to you. When you receive a new message, it will automatically display on your phone’s screen. (See “Displaying Pop-up Messages” on page 68.)

In addition, SMS Text Messaging includes a variety of pre-set messages, such as “Can’t talk right now. Send me a message.” that make composing messages fast and easy. You can also customize your own pre-set messages (up to 50 characters) from your Sprint PCS Phone.
