Creating and Sending Messages
Each message you create may contain the following
fields:
To — the phone numbers or email addresses of one
or more recipients.
Message — the body of the message. This may
include text, pictures, ring tones, or voice records.
Subject — the subject line.
Attach — one or more attachments. These may be
pictures, ring tones, or audio files, including voice
records that you create while creating the message.
Cc — the phone numbers or email addresses of
additional recipients.
Auto Replies — lets you insert replies the recipient can
choose from when replying to your message, if the
recipient’s phone also has this feature.
Priority — sets the message priority to normal or high.
Valid Until — sets a date after which no more
attempts are made to deliver the message.
To send a message, you must address it to at least one
recipient. All other message fields are optional and you
can fill them in any order.
Note: Your text messaging address is only needed if
someone is sending you a text message from an email
account. Phone-to-phone text messages only require
your phone number.
