When you receive a new message, it will automatically be displayed on your phone's screen. 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. 174 Section 3A: Qwest® Service Features: The Basics
