Reading SMS messages

After you activate your handheld, and if you are in an area of sufficient wireless
coverage, you can receive SMS messages that are up to 140 characters long from
Nextel. An SMS-compatible number is a phone number (Work, Home, Mobile, or
Pager) that has SMS capabilities.
Tip: You can locate your handheld's SMS-compatible phone number on the Subscriber
Identity Module (SIM) card screen. If a phone number does not appear on this screen,
contact Nextel Customer Care.
When you receive a new SMS message, your handheld displays notification on
the Home screen, and provides other notification, depending on how you have
configured your handheld's notification profiles.
To read an SMS message
1. On the Home screen, click the Messages icon. The Messages screen appears.
Messages are listed in chronological order, grouped by date.
2. Select a received SMS message and click the trackwheel to view the menu.
Click Open.
