About SMS messages
With an SMS-compatible phone number, you can send
and receive short message service (SMS) messages.
An SMS-compatible number is a phone number that
your service provider enables for SMS.
You can send SMS messages to contacts who have
SMS-compatible phone numbers. You can also
forward SMS messages as PIN or email messages.
Find your SMS number
In the phone, the My Number field displays your
phone number. If your BlackBerry® device is enabled
for SMS, this number is also your SMS number.
Type an SMS number
When you type an SMS-compatible number, include
the country code and the area code.
Note:
In the phone options, set your smart-dialing options to
avoid typing the country code and area code.
