and email
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.
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.

DID YOU KNOW ? You can send and receive text
messages even while you are on a phone call.
This is easiest when using a hands-free
