Staying connected to your friends and family has never been easier. With
your phone’s advanced messaging capabilities, you can send and receive
many different kinds of text messages without placing a voice call.

easier by letting you decide how you would like to be notified of new
messages, create a signature with each sent message, and create your
own canned messages, to name just a few.

you can have your phone delete them automatically for you when your

Auto-Erase.
