Using SMS Text Messaging
With SMS Text Messaging, you can use other people’s
wireless phone numbers to send instant text messages from
your phone to their messaging-ready phones – and they can
send messages to you. When you receive a new message, it
will automatically be displayed on your phone’s screen.
In addition, SMS Text Messaging includes a variety of preset
messages, such as “I’m running late, I’m on my way,” that
makes composing messages fast and easy. You can also
customize your own preset messages (up to 160 characters)
from your phone or at
www.sprint.com
