Palm™ SMS
Palm™ SMS provides a way for you to use your Treo and a GSM mobile phone to exchange short 
text messages with other people who also use GSM mobile phones and subscribe to an SMS 
service. These text messages, also called SMS (Short Message Service) messages, are similar to 
e-mail messages that you send and receive from your computer, but are limited to 160 characters 
in length. In addition to sending text, you can use Palm SMS to send and receive records from 
your handheld applications as an SMS message. Sending a record is similar to sending 
attachments with an e-mail message, but in the case of SMS, the data becomes the message, it 
isn’t something extra you send with a text message.
In Palm SMS, you can do the following:
nSend and receive short text messages. 
nRead incoming messages directly from the Inbox. 
nReview messages you sent in the Sent folder.
nSend data from other applications including Contacts, Date Book Plus, Memo Pad, and 
To Do List
Note: The person receiving your SMS message must also have a GSM mobile phone and a 
wireless service provider that supports text messages. Some wireless service providers 
may use a different name for their text messaging service. Contact your GSM wireless 
service provider to see if their service is compatible with SMS.
To open Palm SMS:
1. Press Option   and then press Menu   to access the Applications Launcher. 
2. Use the scroll buttons to select the Palm SMS icon  .
3. Press Return   to launch the application.
 
The SMS screen opens where you can access any of the following categories:
InboxStores incoming messages that you downloaded from your phone.
OutboxStores messages waiting to be sent.
TrashStores message which you’ve deleted. Deleted messages can be restored to 
their original category until your empty the trash.
ArchiveStores messages you’ve read and want to keep.
