Text Messaging (Sms) And Picture Messaging (Mms) - HTC Hero User Manual

Text Messaging (SMS) and Picture Messaging (MMS)

With Text Messaging (SMS), you can send and receive instant text messages between your wireless device
and another messaging-ready phone.
In addition, Text Messaging includes a variety of preset messages, such as "I'm running late, I'm on my way,"
that make composing messages fast and easy. Use your device to customize your own preset messages
(up to 160 characters).
Picture messages, or MMS, can contain text and pictures, recorded voice, audio or video files, picture
slideshows, contact cards (vCard), or appointments (vCalendar).
Note See your service plan for applicable charges for Text Messaging and SMS Voice Messaging.
Composing Text Messages
1. Press and tap
2. On the All messages screen, tap New message . The Compose screen opens.
3. Fill in one or more recipients. You can:
Enter phone numbers directly in the To field. If you're sending the message to several phone numbers,
separate the phone numbers with a comma. As you enter information, any matching phone numbers
from your contacts list are displayed. Tap a match to enter that number or address directly.
Tap the icon, and then select the phone numbers of the contacts to whom you want to send the
message. You can also select contact groups as recipients. When you have selected all the message
recipients, tap Done .
4. Tap the "Tap to compose" text box and then start composing your message.
Note As you near the 160-character limit, a counter will appear in the top right corner of the text box to tell you how
many characters are left. Once you go over that limit, a new message is created but automatically joined into one
when received.
5. When done, tap Send to send the text message.
