PCS Shortmail
Using PCS Short mail
With PCS Short mail, you can use a person’s wireless phone number to
send instant text messages from your Vision-enabled PCS Phone to their
messaging-ready phone – and they can send messages to you. When you
receive a new message, you’ll automatically be notified with a one-way
text message.
In addition, PCS Short Mail includes a variety of pre-set 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 pre-set messages (up to
100 characters) from your PCS Phone or at
www.sprintpcs.com.
