All Sprint phones currently sold use SMS, the international standard for mobile text messaging. Sprint SMS is internationally supported, and can send and receive text messages to other countries. Older Sprint phones without SMS can only receive text messages (what Sprint calls Notifications). These phones can send messages via Shortmail, a Sprint-invented web-browser alternative, based on SMS. These phones must pull up received Shortmail messages in the web browser. Non-SMS Vision phones can use SendNote from www.apgap.com as a workaround. This Java application uses Sprint’s messaging web site to send the message as an SMS, which is received as a Notification on a non-SMS phone. SendNote eliminates Shortmail from the messaging equation completely. Sprint’s text messaging web site is located at http://messaging.sprintpcs.
