Palm™ SMS

Palm™ SMS provides a way for you to use your Treo and a GSM mobile phone to exchange short
text messages with other people who also use GSM mobile phones and subscribe to an SMS
service. These text messages, also called SMS (Short Message Service) messages, are similar to
e-mail messages that you send and receive from your computer, but are limited to 160 characters
in length. In addition to sending text, you can use Palm SMS to send and receive records from
your handheld applications as an SMS message. Sending a record is similar to sending
attachments with an e-mail message, but in the case of SMS, the data becomes the message, it
isn’t something extra you send with a text message.

In Palm SMS, you can do the following:

Send and receive short text messages.

Read incoming messages directly from the Inbox.

Review messages you sent in the Sent folder.

Send data from other applications including Contacts, Date Book Plus, Memo Pad, and
To Do List

Note:

The person receiving your SMS message must also have a GSM mobile phone and a
wireless service provider that supports text messages. Some wireless service providers
may use a different name for their text messaging service. Contact your GSM wireless
service provider to see if their service is compatible with SMS.
