Text Messaging (SMS)
With Text Messaging (SMS), you can send and receive instant text messages between your wireless phone
and another messaging-ready phone.
In addition, Text Messaging includes a variety of preset messages, such as "I'm running late, I'm on my way,"
that make composing messages fast and easy. Use your phone to customize your own preset messages
(up to 160 characters).
