Using Text SMS Messaging
With Text SMS 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 be displayed on your phone’s screen.
In addition, Text SMS 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 Sprint PCS Phone or at
www.sprint.com.
