Text Messaging (SMS)
You can send and recieve text messages only in GSM mode. While using the Nextel
iDEN digital network, you can only recieve text messages. In GSM mode, you can send
and receive text messages up to 160 characters in size. While using the iDEN network,
you can recieve messages up to 500 characters long.
The advantages of text messages include the following:
• Text messages are sent instantly.
• Text messages can be sent or received at any time, except during a data call, Walkie-
Talkie call, or Talkgroup call.
• Most mobile phones support text messages, so most recipients can read text
messages that you send.
Note: You cannot synchronize text messages with your desktop computer, and you
cannot use text messages to send or receive attachments or voice notes.
