Using SMS Text Messaging
With SMS Text Messaging, you can use a person’s wireless phone
number to send instant text messages from your Sprint PCS Phone to
their messaging-ready phone – and they can send messages to you.
When you receive a new message, it will automatically display on
your phone’s screen.
In addition, SMS Text Messaging includes a variety of pre-set
templates, such as “I’m running late, I’m on my way,” that make
composing messages fast and easy. You can also customize your own
templates (up to 100 characters) from your Sprint PCS Phone or at
www.sprintpcs.com.
