Using SMS
SMS (Short Messaging Service) allows you to send and receive
short messages (usually not more than 160 characters) through
the network.
Note: Subject to feature availability; check with your service provider
to determine if you have access to this service.
To send/receive SMS messages, you must have
1X service
(page 28). SMS is temporarily unavailable, if you have powered off
the modem (page 36).
SMS messages sent to you are stored on the network when you
are out of coverage. Once you have service, the messages are
transferred to your computer.
Determining whether you have new SMS
messages
When you have new SMS messages, a number is displayed
next to the Watcher icon
in the Dock. The number
indicates how many new (unread) SMS messages you have.
