Sprint PCS Service
Types of Messages
Your phone is capable of sending email and text messages.
Send text messages by simply entering the phone number of
the recipient when creating a new message.
Messaging
All incoming messages arrive and are stored in the Inbox until
deleted. If memory is full, new messages are rejected, so you
should delete older messages to free up space for new
messages. The Inbox has three submenus at the bottom of
the screen that are labeled New, Tools, and Accounts. The
following sections cover each of these submenus in more
detail.
New
Use the New submenu to compose and send a new email or
text message. Send a text message by entering the phone
number of the message recipient in the To field, or send an
email by entering the recipient's email address. Whichever
method you use to send a message (email or text), you’ll need
to set up an account, which is discussed later in this section.
To compose a new message:
1. Tap the Start menu bar, and then tap Messaging.
2. Tap New at the bottom of the screen.
3. Tap the To field, and then enter the email address or
phone number of your recipient.
4. Tap the Subject field, and then enter a subject for your
message.
5. Below the Subject field is a large box. Tap your stylus in
this area, and then begin composing your message
using your preferred method of text entry.
