Blackberry 7510, 7520, 7100i Text Messaging

How do you Text Message on a Blackberry?

On the Nextel Blackberries (7510, 7520, 7100i) true text messaging does not exist as you may be used to seeing it. You may occassionally receive an SMS but find that when you reply, the message never arrives to the recipient. This is because Nextel uses SMS to alert you of Voicemails, however, the blackberry is not designed to send SMS.

However, there are a couple work arounds!

The first is to use an instant messaging application. For yahoo, go to the downloads link on your Blackberry wireless web and download Yahoo messenger.

For AIM, you can download RambleIM at http://wireless.sra.com/ramble/

At http://www.teleflip.com you can send emails that will be converted to text messages for you FREE of charge (up to 5,000 per month). It's pretty easy, just send an email to the phonenumber@teleflip.com (example 5553331212@teleflip.com) and it will be converted to text message. When they reply back, they will be texting directly to your email address. If you don't see anything, check your junkmail folder!

You can also email people directly to their messaging email if you know what it is for their provider. To email people (send text message by email) send an email to their phonenumber@companymessagingsystem.com (example 5553331212@messaging.sprintpcs.com )
