SMS

When you subscribe to PCS Vision Services, you can use your PCS Treo 300

e-mail messages that you receive on your computer, but are typically no
more than 160 characters in length. These messages can originate from
any of the following sources:

The PCS voicemail paging system

The PCS messaging website

An email message addressed to your mobile phone
[email protected].

Receiving text messages

When you receive text messages, the New Messages alert appears. The
buttons that appear in the alert dialog box are based on the source and

message by tapping any of the following buttons:

OK

Saves the message in the All category, dismisses the alert dialog box,
and returns you to the previous application.

Select

Opens a dialog box where you can choose how to respond to the
message. The options available change based on the content of the
