How Do I Compose and Send an SMS Message?

To Compose an SMS message, use any of these options within the Convergence UI:

• Quick Actions: Click the New SMS icon in the Quick Actions menu in the upper-left corner of the Convergence UI.
• SMS folder: Click New message in the SMS tab of the SMS folder in the Messages pane.
• Address Book: Click a contact's phone number; a drop-down menu appears. Select Send SMS Message. See: How Do I Send SMS Messages Through Address Book?
• Instant Messaging: If an address book contact, who has at least one phone number in the address book entry, is also an Instant Messaging buddy, then the Instant Messaging buddy menu displays the Send SMS Message option.
• Calendar: If you receive a calendar notification in your Inbox, you can send the sender a message from the sender drop-down menu: Send <Sender Name> an SMS Message...

A New SMS message window appears consisting of the following parts:

• Phone Number or Contact Name. Enter your Contact's name or Phone number where your contact can receive SMS messages. As you enter the contact name or phone number, Convergence searches your Personal Address Book and/or Corporate Directory for that contact or number and adds it to the Phone Number or Contact Name.
• Message Area. Enter a message. When completed, click Send.
