Using SMSTextMessaging

With SMS Text Messaging, you can use other people’s phone numbers to send instant text messages from your phone to their messaging-ready phones – and they can send messages to you.

In addition, SMS Text Messaging includes a variety of preset messages, such as “Can’t talk right now. Send me a message.” that make composing messages fast and easy. (See page 66 for details.) You can also customize your own preset messages (up to 50 characters) from your phone.
