Nextel Text Messaging – What It Is, Where To Find It!

Whatever type of phone you have; a GPS phone or more modest model, chances are you’ll want to use it for messaging as well as calls. And with Nextel texts messaging these messages are currently the best value as one of their latest limited time offers from Nextel involves a package with an offer of free SMS.

Using text for messages rather than voice calls can be a lot more convenient and discreet as well as affordable with any cellular provider, but as Nextel are now offering some messaging for free then that’s better still.

Text Is Easy – Text Is Fun

Text messaging is easy and fun, and can be found simply as most phones now support two way messaging where you simply compose a message of text characters and send it off to any mobile phone number in your phone’s memory or that you have just keyed in. The message is then instantly sent to that cell phone and they can reply in kind.

A message center will collect the message if the receiving phone is turned off or in a non- roaming coverage area, and then deliver it when the phone is available to receive the SMS. And text messages can be stored, deleted or replied too just like a kind of "email lite."

Funny texts from friends can raise a smile but text services are no joke as literally billions are sent and received each month.

Keying in the text is made easier and less fiddly by predictive text or the common trick of using abbreviated forms of words, and you can also message from Nextel’s website. But however you text your friends, family and contacts; it can be a free message with Nextel text.
