SENDING SHORT E-MAIL
MESSAGES
If you want to contact someone without having a phone
conversation, you can create and send text messages from your
handset.
You can contact another Omnipoint user, or anyone with an Internet
e-mail address. Here’s how to write a message.
> Use the
CD keys to scroll to the “MAIL” menu. Press
F.
> Use the
CD keys to go to “SEND MESSAGES.”
> Press
F.
> When “NEW” appears on your display, press
F. You’ll see
an empty display.
> Use the keypad to enter a message up to 160 characters long.
(Note: if you’re sending the message to an Internet e-mail
address, see below.)
> Because keys contain more than one letter, press several times
until the letter you want is displayed. (Example: to type “A,”
press the
2 key once; to type “B,” press the 2 key twice.
For lower-case letters, use the
A key. For more information,
see your Ericsson User’s Manual.)
> If two successive letters in the name you’re entering appear on
the same key, wait until an underline appears to the right of
your last letter, then enter the next letter.

Messages you receive from the Internet begin with the sender’s e-
mail address, followed by a “#” sign.
Note: on your handset display, the standard Internet address “@”
sign will be replaced by the “:” symbol.
