Testing Your V100 Personal Communicator
It's a good idea to test your service by sending a Short Message Services
(SMS) message or by calling a friend or family member, from your Personal
Communicator. Start by using the phone number, web site, or email address (and a
PIN, if required) your service provider gave you, then try making a call. When you
reach a friend or family member, ask them to send a message to you or call you
back.
Refer to the following sections for information about SMS messages and making
and receiving calls. If your Personal Communicator does not send or receive
messages or calls, contact your service provider. After you've tested your Personal
Communicator, read the rest of this guide to learn about the many useful features of
your new Personal Communicator.
