SMS stands for Short Messaging Service - a standardized protocol for  
exchanging electronic text messages using GSM cellular telephones. These  
messages may be up to 160 characters in length.  
HandPHONE SMS sends messages from the Palmhandheld via your mobile  
phone to an SMS message center, which dispatches them to their destination.  
Recipients are usually other mobile phones, but some service providers also  
allow you to send e-mail and faxes in addition to SMS messages.  
HandPHONE allows you to choose message type, but you should check with  
your service provider if you intend to send formats other than SMS text  
messages. The receiving party’s mobile phone will automatically download  
pending SMS messages up to the memory capacity of the phone.  
HandPHONE SMS lets you:  
ƒ
Send and receive SMS messages up to 160 characters using your  
connected GSM cellular telephone  
ƒ
ƒ
ƒ
ƒ
Store messages locally and delete messages from your phone  
Write SMS messages easily  
Insert destination numbers right from your handheld’s Address Book  
Read and write messages off-line and connect when it’s convenient

ƒ
ƒ
A Palm IIIor more recent handheld, or compatible machine running Palm  
OS® 3.0 or higher, with around 105 KB of free storage space  
A Windows or Macintosh computer with a HotSync® connection, HotSync

,QVWDOODWLRQ  
This section describes “manual” installation of the HandPHONE SMS  
application file. You may skip directly to Chapter 2 – Getting Started if the  
software is already installed on your Palm handheld.  
HandPHONE SMS operates entirely on your Palm handheld. After installation,  
there is no interaction with your desktop computer. To install the software, you  
will need to connect your Palm handheld to your PC or Macintosh computer in  
order to run HotSync software and upload the HandPHONE SMS program file.  
The instructions given in this section are valid both for Windows and Macintosh  
systems. To install HandPHONE SMS:  
1. Locate the phonesms.prc file. You may copy the file to your hard disk or  
install it directly from your distribution media.  
2. Place your Palm handheld in its cradle and make sure the cable is  
correctly connected to your Windows or Macintosh desktop computer.  
3. Use your mouse to double-click on the phonesms.prc file. This will start the  
Palm application installer program.  
4. Confirm your selection. HandPHONE SMS will be copied to your Palm  
handheld next time you perform a HotSync operation.  
5. Next, make sure the HotSync Manager application is active on your  
desktop computer, and press the HotSync button on the unit’s cradle to  
begin file transfer.

Outgoing/sent messages  
When you write SMS messages, you may store them into either the Outbox or  
the Draft folder.  
Outbox  
All messages in the Outbox will be sent the next time you select Message,  
Send All (or Send & Retrieve). By tapping on a message in the Outbox you  
may edit, move your message to the draft box, or delete it.  
Draft Folder  
Messages in the Draft folder will not be sent, and may be re-edited at any time.

message, or delete the message entirely.  
Sent folder  
The Sent folder keeps copies of the messages you have sent, whether or not  
they were successfully transmitted to the recipient. In the Sent folder, you may  
highlight a message in order to view it, move it directly to the Outbox to send  
again, move it to the Draft folder to send at a later time, or delete it.  
Note  
Remember to clean out the Sent folder from time to time  
to keep it from using memory unnecessarily.
