Message Option
1. Navigate to your phone message menu. This is accomplished by either tapping or pressing the button that corresponds to the 'Message' menu.
2. Enter the 10-digit cellular number you wish to send an SMS to. If you are sending the message to more than one person, separate phone numbers with a comma.
3. Type the subject of the message in the appropriate field. This is optional, as the message will be sent with or without a subject. If you're not entering a subject, just scroll, tap or arrow down to the next field to enter your message.
