If you have Sprint PCS...
 

And have one of the following phones:
Nokia 3588i
Samsung VI660
Sanyo VM4500
Toshiba VM4050

You may now use the built-in text messaging client in your phone instead of Short Mail. SMS in the DC Metro area went online last night.

Also, if you have any of the phones with the exception of the Nokia 3588i, and have PCS Vision, SMS is free for the life of your plan. At this time, as SMS has not been officially rolled out, I do not if there is a limit on the number of free messages you get.

And no, I don't work for Sprint. :)

wow... i felt like i was the last person in the world to still have sprint. everyone i know switched to nextel or verizon. im thinking about swicthing myself

Re: If you have Sprint PCS...
 

I don't recommend that you switch to Nextel if you depend on your ability to receive phone calls.

I don't recommend Verizon if you use Vision. Verizon has nothing comparable to that for the price.

men aren't supposed to spend this much time caring about a phone.
