Creating messages

SMS Message Manager enables you to create short text messages and send
them to a GSM mobile phone number or an email address. If a message
exceeds 160 characters, SMS Message Manager divides the text into
multiple messages. As you create a message, the status bar indicates how
many messages will be sent and the total number of characters in all the
messages.

To save time while creating messages, you can insert predefined text from
a template. Some templates ask you to enter information such as a meeting
time or place. Using a template is similar to filling in the blanks on a form
letter instead of writing a letter from scratch. Fortunately, in SMS Message
Manager you can easily combine the template text with your own text to
personalize your message.

You can create a message at any time, but if you send a message when you
are outside a coverage area, your VisorPhone places the message in the
Pending category and sends it automatically when you return to a coverage
area. While a message is in the Pending category, you cannot edit it, but you
can delete it before it is sent.
