SMS stands for Short Messaging Service - a standardized protocol for
exchanging electronic text messages using GSM cellular telephones. These
messages may be up to 160 characters in length.
™
HandPHONE SMS sends messages from the Palm
phone to an SMS message center, which dispatches them to their destination.
Recipients are usually other mobile phones, but some service providers also
allow you to send e-mail and faxes in addition to SMS messages.
HandPHONE allows you to choose message type, but you should check with
your service provider if you intend to send formats other than SMS text
messages. The receiving party’s mobile phone will automatically download
pending SMS messages up to the memory capacity of the phone.
HandPHONE SMS lets you:
ƒ Send and receive SMS messages up to 160 characters using your
connected GSM cellular telephone
ƒ Store messages locally and delete messages from your phone
handheld via your mobile
ƒ Write SMS messages easily
ƒ Insert destination numbers right from your handheld’s Address Book
ƒ Read and write messages off-line and connect when it’s convenient
