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.

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.
