About SMS messages
With an SMS-compatible phone number, you can send
and receive short message service (SMS) messages.
An SMS-compatible number is a phone number that
your service provider enables for SMS.
You can send SMS messages to contacts who have
SMS-compatible phone numbers.
Note:
If your BlackBerry® device supports sending SMS
messages to email addresses, you can also send SMS
messages to contacts who have email addresses.
Find your SMS number
In the phone, the My Number field displays your
phone number. If your BlackBerry® device is enabled
for SMS, this number is also your SMS number.
Type an SMS number
Contact your service provider for more information
about SMS number format. Your service provider might
require that all SMS numbers include the area code
and other prefixes.
Note:
In the phone options, set your smart-dialing options to
avoid typing the country code and area code.
