Phone, Web, & Messaging
If you are out of a coverage area or if Wireless Mode is off, outgoing messages go
into the Outbox folder. When you return to a coverage area, messages are sent
automatically.

SMS Tips

You can address SMS messages to multiple recipients by separating the
addresses with a comma.
When entering a message, you can insert emotive symbols by choosing
Emoticons or predefined QuickText phrases by choosing QuickText and then
selecting a phrase. To add a new phrase, select Edit QuickText from the list.
You cannot use all symbols available on your phone in SMS messages. The SMS
application automatically replaces invalid characters before it sends messages.
You can send and receive SMS messages even while you are on a phone call.
This is easiest when using the hands-free headset or speakerphone.

Receiving SMS Messages

When your phone is on and in a wireless coverage area, you automatically receive
SMS messages sent to you. You can configure your Treo to automatically notify you
when new SMS messages arrive, using a ringtone or simply an onscreen alert.

From the New Message alert:
To view your message(s), choose Go To.
To dismiss the alert, choose OK. The message will go straight to the Inbox.
To be reminded of the new message again in 5 minutes, choose Snooze.

Using Links in Messages

The SMS software is designed to recognize links within a message and give you
one-tap access to them. When you receive an SMS message that contains a
recognizable telephone number, email address, or URL, you can dial the number,
send an email message, or go to the Web page directly from the SMS message.
1. Choose a message from the list.
2. Choose the phone number, email address, or URL (the link appears as
underlined blue text).
3. Your Treo automatically launches the appropriate application from the link.

Chatting with SMS

When you exchange more than one SMS message with a single contact, your
messages will automatically be grouped into a chat session. The upper part of the
Chat view displays all messages you've exchanged with this address, and the lower
part provides a text entry area where you can continue the conversation. You can
carry on multiple chats at the same time and easily switch between them, using
the pick list at the top of the screen.
