Messaging Services
Your Nextel phone offers two choices in Messaging Services—Text and
Numeric Messaging and the ultimate messaging product, Nextel Online Two-
Way Messaging
SM
.
Text and Numeric Messaging allows others to send you a message that is
displayed directly on your Nextel phone. Nextel Messaging helps keep you in
touch with co-workers and customers, regardless of where you travel on the
Nextel National Network.
Building on the success of Text and Numeric Messaging, Two-Way Messaging
uses the flexibility and convenience of Nextel Online Wireless Internet Services
to provide immediate contact with the people important to you, even when you
can’t make or take a call. Two-Way Messaging allows you to send, receive and
respond to text messages quickly and discreetly.
