Enhanced Features
2. Senders can use our web site (sasktel.com) to send a text
message to one SaskTel Text Messaging subscriber or to
a group of SaskTel Text Messaging subscribers.
3. Each Text Messaging subscriber’s phone has its own
e-mail address so people can send text messages to
either one Text Messaging subscriber or a group of
Text Messaging subscribers using an e-mail application.
The sender enters the Text Messaging e-mail address in
the ‘To’ section of the e-mail application and sends a
message like any normal e-mail.
Example:
The e-mail address of a SaskTel Text Messaging subscriber
is 306#######@sms.sasktel.com (where ####### is the
recipient’s 7-digit cell number).
Note:
Do not enter a hyphen anywhere in the phone number.
Text Messaging subscribers can exchange e-mails from their
digital cell phones. This allows you to communicate with
anyone in the world who has an e-mail address, right from
your digital cell.
Example:
You could send a text message to e-mail address
[e-mail] and the recipient could reply directly
to your digital cell.
NEW MESSAGE INDICATORS
A digital cell may indicate that a new text message is waiting
in one or more of the following ways:
•
an audible beep;
•
a graphic of an envelope displayed on the screen;
•
text displayed on the screen.
RETRIEVING A TEXT MESSAGE
The most common method to retrieve a new text message is
to press the button on the digital cell phone that displays a
graphic of an ‘envelope,’ then follow the prompts displayed
on the screen.
