Using SMS
SMS enables you to send and receive short text messages using your
handheld and a Global System for Mobile Communications (GSM) phone.
SMS allows you to do the following:
■ Create SMS messages using Graffiti ® 2 characters or the onscreen keyboard on
your handheld rather than your mobile phone keypad.
■ Send and receive SMS messages.
■ Receive records associated with other applications, such as Date Book events,
Memo Pad memos, and so forth. You can add such records to the associated
application or view the information as a text message.
IMPORTANT Your mobile phone plan must be a GSM phone and must include the
ability to send and receive SMS messages in order to use SMS.
To open SMS:
1. Tap the Home icon .
2. Tap the pick list in the upper-right corner of the screen.
3. Tap Main.
4. Tap the SMS icon .
Configuring phone preferences and connecting to your mobile phone
You need to configure the phone preferences of your handheld and connect your
handheld to your mobile phone before you use SMS. Whenever you send or
receive messages in SMS, your handheld must be connected to your mobile phone.
For more information on configuring your phone preferences, see Chapter 22 . For
more information on connecting your handheld to your mobile phone, see “Setting
up a phone connection” in Chapter 14 .
