Sprint Nextel SCP-7050 manual Using SMSTextMessaging, Composing SMSTextMessages, 189

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. When you receive a new message, it will automatically display on your phone’s screen.

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. You can also customize your own preset messages (up to 50 characters) from your phone.
