PCS Messaging
With PCS Messaging, you can use a person’s wireless phone
number to send text messages from your PCS Phone to their
messaging-ready phone—and they can send messages to you.
When you receive a new message, you’ll be automatically notified.
You can use predictive text to make messaging simpler (see
"Using Predictive Text" on page 58 for more information). In
addition, PCS messaging includes a variety of pre-set messages
(templates), such as “Please call” and “I am late. I will be there
at,” to make composing messages fast and easy.
Note: PCS Messaging is not available while roaming off the enhanced
Sprint Nationwide PCS Network.
Note: Text messages are limited to 160 characters.
