Messaging
You can exchange brief text and multimedia messages with other mobile phones that
support these forms of messaging (also known as SMS and MMS) and with email
addresses. Before you use your Treo to send or receive messages, consult your
wireless service provider for pricing and availability of text and multimedia messaging
services.
Creating and sending a text message
Each text message can hold up to 160 characters. Messages with more than 160
characters are automatically split into several messages. (If you send a text message
to an email address, the email address is deducted from the 160 character count.)
1. Make sure your phone is turned on (see “Turning your phone on and off” on
page 15)
2. Press the Messaging button.
3. Select New.
4. Select the To pick list to address the message:
• If the recipient’s name appears in the To pick list, select it from the list.
To address a message
to multiple recipients,
separate the addresses
with a space or a comma.
If you address a single
message to three people,
you will be billed for three
messages.
When addressing a
message, you may need to
press Option to enter letters
or numbers. The Option
Lock setting defaults to the
setting you used the last
time you addressed a
message.
