Sending text messages from a mobile phone is the most common way that people trade messages. Follow these steps: 1. Select the envelope icon on your mobile phone’s main screen, or select Text Messaging or SMS from the menu. 2. Select New Message. A list of message options opens. 3. Select Text Message to send a text message. 4. Press the Select key to choose a recipient or group from your Contacts list, or enter the recipient’s mobile phone number or e-mail address. Press the * key to add a semicolon (;), which separates recipient names. You can also copy and paste the number or address from the clipboard. 5. Press the down directional key to move to the message field. 6. Write a message using the mobile phone keypad. 7. To send the message, choose Options. Send or press the Send key. A message appears on-screen confirming that the message was sent. Your mobile phone can send messages that are longer than 160 characters — they’re just sent as a series of two or more messages. Before sending any text messages, long or short, check on the price, because wireless carriers tend to charge for all outbound messages. Most carriers have monthly bundles of 100 or more messages that are much cheaper than paying per message. Text messaging is quite cool, and it’s almost as good as the U.S. Postal Service. If your friend has turned off her mobile phone or it’s out of the coverage area when you send your text message, the message you sent stays available in the wireless carrier’s network for a day or two. The carrier continues trying to send the message until the mobile phone is turned back on or returns to wireless network coverage.
