Text and Numeric Messages
Mobile originated text messaging (MOSMS) lets
you send and receive short text messages to and
from other Mike handsets. Messages you receive
appear on your handset’s display and in the text
message inbox.
If your handset is powered off when you receive a
message, your handset notifies you the next time
you power it on. If you are out of your coverage
area, your handset alerts you when you return to
your coverage area.
Tip:
While reading a text and numeric message
that contains a phone number, you can
press
s
to call that number.
