Using SMS Text Messaging
With SMS Text Messaging, you can use a person’s wireless

message, it will automatically display on your phone’s
screen. (See “Displaying Pop-up Messages” on page 68.)
In addition, SMS Text Messaging includes a variety of pre-set
messages, such as “Can’t talk right now. Send me a message.”
