Kim,It is a different technology. You need a GSM phone in order to do SMS messaging. What your phone has is mostl likely as you say - a phone based email system.SMS is pretty popular everyplace in the world, except for the US. Simply due to the technology differences.SMS is limited to 160 text characters and I am not sure if it is simply an enhancement Nokia has added, but they also allow you to send pictures via SMS. You can also download new ring tones and a background image for your phone via SMS.Another cool thing is that you can call information (at least here in Germany) and they can download the number to your phone - I am not sure, but I believe they do that via SMS as well.Makes it much easier to deal with getting and remembering a new phone number while on the road :)SMS is a pretty cool technology. Much more advanced than typical phone/email systems.DaleOn Mon, 6 Aug 2001 10:45:40 Kimberly Ingram
