Mobile Messenger
The Mobile Messenger window is used to display SMS messages you receive and to send SMS messages.
SMS (Short Message Service) is a feature that some service providers offer, that allows you to send and receive short messages (up to 160 characters) through the CDMA network. Depending on your service provider, one or more of these methods of sending SMS messages may be available to you:
•Some wireless service providers have web pages on which anyone can enter a message and direct it to your phone number. In this case, anyone who has access to the Internet can send you a message, provided he or she knows your phone number and can locate the appropriate web page.
•Some service providers allow SMS messages to be sent through Internet
•Some products, such as the AirCard 555, have software that allows you to send messages to other subscribers, using their phone numbers to direct the message.
The Mobile Messenger… option in the Tools menu allows you to read, create and send SMS messages.
Reading SMS Messages: The Inbox
Incoming messages are stored in the Inbox until you delete them or until they expire (depending on your settings in the Options window).
The SMS indicator notifies you when new messages are received by displaying an envelope icon. The ToolTip (displayed when you position the mouse pointer on top of the icon) identifies how many unread messages you have.
If the icon is flashing, one or more of the messages is tagged as urgent.
To read messages:
1.Double click the SMS icon, or select Tools > Mobile Messenger… to display the Mobile Messenger window.
2.Click the Inbox tab if it is not already selected.
