Messaging Service Instructions
To begin messaging service, contact your service provider for
instructions. The phone number of the messaging service can be
found in the literature provided by the service provider.
Sending a Test Message to Yourself
After you activate your service, you should test your
communicator and service by sending a message to yourself.
Use the telephone number, web site, or e-mail address (and a
wireless address) provided by your service provider. If you are
using a phone to send a word message, an operator will help;
otherwise, enter a numeric message or type one and send it.
While waiting for the message to reach your communicator, refer
to “Reading Messages” on page 43. If your communicator does
not receive the message within a few minutes, contact your
service provider.
After you have tested the communicator, read the rest of this
guide to learn about other features.
