SMS Messaging for
Windows CE
The GSM version of the Digital Phone Card includes software for SMS
messaging.
Socket’s SMS program includes two folders: the SMS folder and the
Phonebook folder. The SMS folder is for creating, modifying, and storing
messages, while the Phonebook folder is for creating, modifying, and
storing contact information, including information on your phone’s SIM
card.
This section primarily shows Pocket PC screens. Except where noted,
screens from other device types are functionally equivalent.
