Using SMS Text Messaging
With SMS Text 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 display on your phone’s
screen.
In addition, SMS Text Messaging includes a variety of pre-set
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 pre-set messages (up to 160 characters)
from your Sprint PCS Phone or at
www.sprintpcs.com
