network in Canada and the U.S.
How to send a Text Message to another phone:
Cellphone-to-cellphone
• On your cell, go to the main menu, find the Message or Mail
function, and indicate OK.
• Select Text Message or New Message, and indicate OK.
• In the Address or Send To or Phone Number screen enter the 10-digit
wireless number or short code that you are texting and indicate OK.
• In the Message screen, enter your message using the
letters on the keypad, and then indicate OK.
• Press the Send Message key and your message will be sent.
Wireless phones will automatically receive messages while the power is on
