146 Section 3C: Messaging
䢇 Not all the symbols that are available on your device can be used in your messages. The
Messaging application automatically replaces invalid characters before it sends
messages.
䢇 You can send and receive text messages (but not Picture Mail messages) even while you
are on a phone call. This is easiest when using the hands-free headset or speakerphone.
Receiving Messages
When your phone is on and is in an area of wireless coverage, you automatically receive new
text messages. You can also configure your device to notify you when a message arrives (see
“Selecting Messaging Alert Tones” on page 150).
The new message alert may include any of the following buttons:
䢇 OK dismisses the alert and places the message in your Inbox.
䢇 Reply opens Chat view, where you can reply with a text message.
To reply to a message using Sprint Picture Mail, select Add from
Chat view.
䢇 Call Back dials the sender’s phone number.
䢇 Go To Msg opens the message so you can view its full contents. If
the message is a reply to a previous message, the message
opens in Chat view.
䢇 Go To URL opens the Web browser so you can view the full contents of the message in
your online Sprint Picture Mail account. See “Working With Your Online Picture Mail
Album” on page 193 for details.
䢇 Delete deletes the received message directly from the message alert.
Tip
If you have multiple alerts, the Alert screen displays all your pending alerts.
Select an alert to jump to that item, or check the box to clear that alert. To
view all your pending alerts from any screen on your device, press and hold
Center on the 5-way.
