Using SMS Text Messaging
With SMS Text Messaging, you can send instant text
messages from your phone to other messaging-ready phones
— and they can send messages to you.
In addition, SMS Text Messaging includes a variety of preset
messages, such as “I’m running late, I’m on my way,” that
make composing messages fast and easy. You can also
customize your own preset messages (up to 160 characters)
from your phone.
