Web Messaging on nextel.com
Nextel's Web Messaging enables you to send a message to yourself, someone
else, or a group of Nextel customers. It also includes a "Schedule For Later"
option, which allows you to send yourself reminders. To use Web Messaging,
follow the steps below:
1
From your computer's Internet browser, go to nextel.com and click
Send a Message. The browser automatically opens to Send an
Individual Message.
2
Address your individual or group message:
•
To send a message to an individual or yourself, type the applicable
10-digit Nextel phone number (for example, 7035551234) in the
To: field.
•
To send a Group Message, select Group Messaging. In the To:
field, type the first individual's 10-digit Nextel phone number.
Then click the add button. The information is inserted in a new
window and the To: field is cleared so you can enter another 10-
digit Nextel phone number. You can send a Group Message to up
to 20 Nextel users at one time.
3
Click on Create Message.

Fill in the optional From: and Subject: fields if desired.

Type your message in the message box. You can send text messages up
to 280 characters in length, sent as two sequential 140-character
messages.

system tell you the number of characters in your message.
The total includes characters from the "To:", "From:", and
"Subject:" fields as well as system-generated characters.
