Important!: When creating a message, adding an image, a sound file, or a
video clip to a text message changes the message from a text
message to a multimedia message.
Messaging icons are displayed at the top of the screen and
indicate when messages are received and their type. For more
information, refer to "Indicator Icons" on page 17.
AT&T Messages
AT&T Messages brings your texts, calls, and voicemail messages
together into a single conversation thread, organized by person
and accessible by computer or phone. Now, when you are using
your computer and you receive a text or voicemail message, you
can text a response right from your desktop. You can also
continue the same conversation thread using your phone. Your
messages are stored and synced in AT&T's cloud using your
existing mobile number, so messages appear to come from your
mobile number no matter which device you use.
Note: The first time you use AT&T Messages, you will need to download the
updated application from the Market. When the Market page displays,
tap Update. For more information, refer to "Market" on page 145.
