Using SMS

SMS (Short Messaging Service) allows you to send and receive short messages (usually not more than 160 characters) through the network.

Note: Subject to feature availability; check with your service provider to determine if you have access to this service.

To send/receive SMS messages, you must have 1X service

(page 28). SMS is temporarily unavailable, if you have powered off the modem (page 36).

SMS messages sent to you are stored on the network when you are out of coverage. Once you have service, the messages are transferred to your computer.

Determining whether you have new SMS messages

When you have new SMS messages, a number is displayed next to the Watcher icon in the Dock. The number indicates how many new (unread) SMS messages you have.
