Using TextSMS Messaging
With Text SMS Messaging, you can use a person’s wireless
phone number to send instant text messages from your
Sprint PCS Phone to their messaging-ready phone – and they
can send messages to you. When you receive a new message,
it will automatically display on your phone’s screen. (See
“Displaying Pop-up Messages”on page 70.)
In addition, Text SMS Messaging includes a variety of preset
messages, such as “Can’t talk right now. Send me a message.”
that make composing messages fast and easy. You can also
customize your own presetmessages (up to 50 characters)
from your Sprint PCS Phone.
