Receiving text messages

All digital PCS phones have been automatically enabled to receive text messages. If you have a Mike phone, or would like to verify that your phone can receive text messages, follow these steps:

1. Go to Send a Message and send a message to your phone
2. If you receive it, you have Text Messaging
3. If you don't receive it, contact Client Care to have the service set up

When you receive a message, you'll be notified on your phone and will be prompted to either read the message right away or save it until later.

Note: Depending on your phone model, the process of retrieving Text Messages may differ. Please see the Online User Guide for your Mike phone or PCS phone for more information.
