TXT Messaging View

TXT Messaging View | Top Previous Next

The TXT Messaging View allows you to send and receive SMS messages via VZAccess Manager, if supported by your wireless device. VZAccess Manager will not display the "TXT Messaging" view if the device does not support SMS messages or does not provide VZAccess Manager the ability to send or receive messages.

Receiving TXT Messages

• | All of your TXT messages will appear in the list box at the top of the TXT messaging view. By default, all sent and received messages will appear.

• | To view only certain messages, Select on the "View" toolbar button and select "Received Messages," "Sent Messages" or "All Messages."

• | If you are in the TXT Messaging view and a new message arrives, the message will automatically appear in the list formatted in bold.

• | To view a long TXT message, select the message in the list view. The details of the message will appear below the list.

• | If you are not in the TXT Messaging view and a new message arrives, a TXT icon will appear in the status bar showing that new messages are available. There is also TXT messaging preference options, such as automatically switching VZAccess Manager focus to the TXT View when new messages arrive and enabling an audible alert whenever a new TXT message arrives.

• | To reply to an inbound message, select the message and Select the "Reply" toolbar button. The phone number of the sender will be populated in the send area below. Enter your new message and Select the "Send" button to send the message.

• | To forward an inbound message, select the message and Select "Forward" toolbar button. The message will be populated in the send area below prefixed with a "FW:." Select the "Send" button to send the message.

Sending TXT Messages

• | While using a wireless device designed for use outside the U.S., to send a text message to:

o | a US-based wireless number, enter: +, 1, then the wireless number.

o | a wireless number outside the US, enter: +, 011, the country code, then the wireless number.

• | (Note: Users can dial either a "+" or the specific exit code prefix required to dial out of your current country.)

• | To send a TXT message to one or more Verizon Wireless subscribers, enter their 10-digit mobile numbers separated by semi-colons in the "To..." field. (Ex: 8885551212; 1234567890). If you use commas, the application will automatically replace them with semi-colons.

• | You can also Select on the "To..." button to open or select an address book. Windows® and Outlook® address books are supported. Messages will be sent to the contact's mobile phone number or email address.

• | The phone number and the message field are required.

• | The Character counter counts up from 0 to 160 and counts all of the characters typed in the message field.

• | Select the "Send" button.

• | To resend a sent message, select the message and Select the "Resend" toolbar button. The phone number and message will be populated in the send area below. Select the "Send" button to send the message again.
