About Messaging
Your Treo™ Pro smartphone by Palm offers a few ways for you to send and receive
messages:
Sprint Messaging: Enables you to use the Messaging application to exchange brief text
messages and multimedia messages with other wireless devices and email addresses that
support these forms of messaging.
IM: Enables you to exchange instant messages (IMs) with friends and colleagues who use
MSN, Yahoo, and America Online instant messages.
These messaging services may not be included in your service plan and may incur extra
charges. If you are not sure about your service plan, consult Sprint.
