Create and send a text message
Important:
Use this method when sending a message to recipients

service provider, you may need to send the message as an e-mail
(see “Create and send an e-mail message” on page 67).

The ability to send a numerical page may be dependent on
your wireless network. Please contact your service provider for
more information on text messaging in your area.
