Using SMS Text Messaging With SMS Text Messaging, you can use a person's wireless phone number to send instant text messages from your 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 47.) In addition, SMS Text Messaging includes a variety of Preset Messages, such as "I'm running late, I'm on my way," that make composing messages fast and easy. You can also customize your own Preset Messages (up to 160 characters) from your phone. Composing SMS Text Messages To compose an SMS Text message: 1. Press Menu (left softkey) to access the main menu. Messaging may also be accessed by pressing up on the navigation key from the idle screen. 2. Select Messaging ( 2 ). 3. Scroll to Send Message and press OK . 4. Scroll to Text Message and press OK . 5. Input a new phone number or email address and select the entry method you prefer: Ⅲ Mobile to use the keypad to enter the wireless phone number of the person to whom you wish to send a message. Ⅲ Email to enter the recipient's email address. 148 Section 3A: Service Features - The Basics
