Text and Numeric Messages
With mobile originated text messaging, you can
send and receive short text messages to and from
other Mike handsets. Messages you receive appear
on your handset's display and in the text message
inbox.
If your handset is powered off when you receive a
message, your handset notifies you the next time
you power it on. If you are out of your coverage
area, your handset alerts you when you return to
your coverage area.

that contains a phone number, you can press
s to call that number.
