Text Messaging
Use the Short Message Service window to send and receive text messages to and from mobile phones. The
text can be comprised of words, numbers or an alphanumeric combination no longer than 160 characters.
Short text messages delivered over mobile networks transmit from the sending mobile computer, are stored in
a central short message center then forwarded to the destination mobile device. If the recipient is not available,
the short message is stored and can be sent later. With the PCS networks based on GSM, CDMA and TDMA
technologies supporting SMS, SMS is a universal mobile data service.
