The power of text.

Text messaging is a great way to keep in touch when you're on the go or in a meeting. With your i wireless phone you can send messages to, and receive messages from, any 10-digit wireless number.

The i wireless Smart Card chip in your phone stores messages — even when the phone's turned off — so you always have access to important information. Text messages can be up to 160 characters long.

Most i wireless phones also have the Predictive Text feature which enables you to write messages quickly with built-in software that decodes your keystrokes and scans an internal dictionary for matching words.

Anyone in the world with Internet e-mail service can also send e-mails to your phone. Your i wireless phone has an e-mail address that incorporates your 11-digit phone number. Your i wireless phone lets you receive messages, save the messages and reply back.

Each customer has their own e-mail address for their phone.
It is your 11-digit mobile number: number.iws@iwspcs.net
Example: 15555555555.iws@iwspcs.net
