The option in the
display SMS messages you receive and to send SMS messages.
SMS (Short Messaging Service) is a feature that some service
providers offer, that allows you to send and receive short
messages (usually up to approximately 160 characters)
through the GSM network. Depending on your service
provider, one or more of these methods of sending SMS
messages may be available to you:
•
Some wireless service providers have web pages on which
anyone can enter a message and direct it to your phone
number. In this case, anyone who has access to the Internet
can send you a message, provided he or she knows your
phone number and can locate the appropriate web page.
•
Some service providers allow SMS messages to be sent
through Internet e-mail applications. Your phone number
is then used as an e-mail address (example:
6045553993@serviceprovider.com).
•
Some products, such as the AirCard 710/750, have
software that allows you to send messages to other
subscribers, using their phone numbers to direct the
message.

Reading SMS Messages: The Inbox

Incoming messages are stored in your SIM card until you
delete them. If your SIM card is full, then a warning message
will display [not supported in the beta release]. Further
messages that are sent to you will be stored on the network
and forwarded to you after you make room on the SIM card
(by deleting old messages).
The SMS indicator in the main Watcher window shows
that new messages are received. The ToolTip (displayed when
you position the mouse pointer on top of the icon) identifies
how many unread messages you have.
To read a message(s):
1.
Double click the SMS icon, or select
to display the SMS Express window.
