CHAPTER 5 Using Email and Other Wireless Services Sending and receiving messages and email You can use the Messaging application to exchange email, brief text messages (SMS), and multimedia messages (MMS) with other mobile devices and email addresses that support these forms of messaging. You can also exchange instant messages (IM) with Pocket MSN. Before you use your smartphone to send or receive messages, consult Verizon Wireless for pricing and availability of email, text, multimedia, and IM messaging services. Creating and sending a text message Each text message can hold up to 160 characters. To save time, you can select from predefined My Text phrases, such as "Call me" or "On my way." You can add your own My Text phrases, and if you prefer, you can enter the full message text too. 1. Go to your Today screen. 2. Press Messaging (left action key). 3. Press Left until you see Text Messages in the title bar. 4. Press New (left action key). [ ! ] Before You Begin Do the following: • Make sure your phone is on before you send or receive messages. • For delivery of Outlook email using Direct Push Technology, install the software from your Getting Started CD. This feature also requires an Exchange Server 2003 upgrade to Service Pack 2. Did You Know? When addressing a message, you can enter the first few numbers of a contact's mobile phone number or the contact's first and last initials separated by a space. 79
