About SMS text messages
To send and receive SMS text messages, your wireless service provider must set up your wireless service plan for SMS text messaging.
You can send SMS text messages to contacts who are also set up for SMS text messaging. You can also forward SMS text messages as PIN or
email messages.
If you have more than one phone number associated with your BlackBerry® device, your device sends SMS text messages using the first phone
number that appears in the drop-down list beside the My Number field at the top of the screen in the phone application.
