Working With SMS Text Messages 41Working With SMS Text MessagesIn addition to dialing and receiving calls, you can use your VisorPhone to send and receive short text messages. These text messages, also called SMS (Short Message Service) messages, are similar to email messages that you send and receive from your computer, but are limited to a few sentences in length. The person receiving your message must also have a mobile phone and a service provider that supports text messages. Some service providers also allow you to use your mobile phone to send text messages to an email address and to receive text messages from a computer. Talk to your service provider for details about their SMS and SMS Email features. This chapter describes how to: ■View messages■Reply to messages■Create messages■Create message greetings and signatures■Set message options■Save messages■Forward messages■Copy message text to the clipboard■Modify outgoing messages■Sort messages■Delete messages■Enable SMS Email

Tap Send.Tap Reply to respond to the message
44  Working With SMS Text MessagesCreating messagesSMS Message Manager enables you to create short text messages and send them to a 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 number of characters in each message. 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.
