Using Messaging

The SMS Service Center phone number is provided by your mobile phone 

service provider. Text messaging should function correctly after activating 

your account. To verify the number used to change the SMS Service Center 

phone number, from the Start menu, tap Phone > Tools > Options > 

Services > Voicemail and SMS > Get Settings.

Multimedia Messaging Service (MMS)

The Multimedia Messaging Service (MMS) is a method of transmitting 

photographs or video clips, sound files, and short text messages over 

wireless networks.
When the phone radio is turned on for the first time, the GSM/GPRS 

Manager application detects the mobile phone service provider and 

automatically populates the MMS settings on the HP iPAQ. For more 

information on changing settings in the GSM/GPRS Manager, refer to 

 

Alternately, you can access some MMS settings by taping, from the Start 

menu, Messaging > Tools > MMS Settings. It is not recommended 

to change the MMS settings provided by your mobile phone service 

provider unless they request the change.
