YOUR GUIDE FOR SENDING MESSAGES

How to address a message to:

Another Authorized Wireless Word Device
An Internet Email Address
A Word, Advanced Word or 2-Way Device on another carrier
A PCS phone

To address a message to a WebLink Wireless 2-Way Word Device:

Simply use the 10 digit phone number. In some 2-Way devices, the address is called a PIN.

• If a non-Authorized Wireless device wants to send a message to you, your e-mail address is: your10digitphonenumber@airmessage.net
  

To address a message to an Internet Email Address:

Addressing a message to someone's email is no different than the address you would use from your desktop computer. Simply enter the person's address into your 2-Way device as an email address.  When sending a message from your computer, use your normal email procedures.

To address a message to any Word, Advanced Word or 2-Way Device on another network:

Enter the address in your Authorized Wireless 2-Way Device as an email address. Use the chart below to look up the carrier for the device if you do not know the email address. (If you cannot successfully get a message to a device, you may need to ask the other person to determine the e-mail address for his or her device. For many carriers, the address is not easily known.)

• In the paging industry, some devices have a PIN that is a distinct number different from the telephone number, and yet is part of the e-mail address. In these cases, you will need to ask the other person for his or her PIN before you can establish the e-mail address for their device.

To address a message to any PCS Phone:

Enter the address in your Authorized Wireless 2-Way Device as an e-mail address. Use the chart below to look up the carrier for the device if you do not know the email address.

• The ability of cellular digital phones to receive text messages varies widely in North America. Some carriers reportedly do not offer this service, but the phone subscriber may nevertheless be able to obtain an e-mail address.
  
• Many of the cellular digital networks do not have the e-mail or text message feature 'on' for every phone. The phone subscriber may have to request that this feature be turned on.
  
• Some cellular networks limit the number of characters that may be transmitted to a phone. Therefore, a message you send may be truncated if it is over this limit.
  
• Cellular digital phone networks are at different points in the development of 2-Way Short Message Service (SMS). Most networks are expected to be fully 2-Way capable by the middle of 2001.
