[email protected] is for sending a SMS message from a
computer's web browser. From the SMS client in your recent-model SPCS
phone, you just enter the other person's 10-digit phone number. I've
sent SMS messages to ATTWS and Cingular phones.
Want more to read, Nicki, when you've finished that 300 page manual?
Somewhere in the description of PCS Vision on the SPCS website is a
downloadable 132-page manual all about Vision. Enjoy your new phone!

I did get the text part to work. My daughter doesn't have a text
phone so I will probably cancel it...I don't think my husband would
like me to be texting him at work all day.
Instead of reading that dang long manual..I would like you all to tell
me your fav part of the 7400 and how to get it to work

Vision is basically data services. From a absic point of view, it's
what allows you to view web sites, sports scores, news headlines,
weather updates, etc from your Sprint phone as well as download
ringtones and graphics. Of course depending on your phone and how tech
savvy you are, Vision can be used to give toher things data services too
(not "legally" though).

You can text other US carriers and SOME international carriers. If you
have a Vision pack added to your plan, then you can send or receive 100
text messages a month. For $5 more, you can get unlimtied messaging.

There's two types of voice recognition: one that's phone based, and one
that's a network-based add-on. There difference is that the network
version (the one you pay $5 a month for) is more sophisitcated, allows
you to hold many more contacts, can be updated over the web, will follow
you to a new phone when you upgrade or change handsets, AND it is not
tied to a single person's voice (i.e., anyone who can speak can use
voice dial on your phone).

Not savvy at all. I'm even afraid to try and download a new ringer.
I'm going to cancel the Vision in a month...I'm working on getting the
camera to work this morning..
Thank you for your answers

The 7400 has two types of voice dialing built into the phone. One is a
generic program that will try to recognize anyones voice, but is prone to
errors in recognition, and will expect pronounciation based on the *****ing
of the name, which might not be accurate. The "contact" command can be
followed by the name you want to dial, which makes this a slightly faster
type of voice dialing than the other type in the phone. Using the "contact"
command while driving can be both amusing and frustrating:
"did you say bob?" "no"
"did you say rob?" "no"
"did you say mom?" "no, damn't, I wanted Todd"
"did you say bob?" " &*%$*"
The second type of voice dial uses the "call voice tag" command. Voice tags
(names) must be pre-recorded and are more accurate IMO. The disadvantage, as
mentioned, is that after saying "call voice tag" the the phone says "say
name" , then you say the name, which can add a step.
Since you asked about learning some features, here are some that you might
overlook:
1. the camera has a camcorder function
2. the flash for the camera can double as a flashlight, just in case you
have to open a padlock at midnight.
3 pushing the talk button twice quickly will redial the last # you dialed.
4. There is a call screening feature, so you can listen in to someone who is
leaving a message on your voicemail, and then cut in to talk to them if its
important.
5. Three way calls work great. Everyone can hear loudly. I just want to
figure out how to access the phone book while I'm talking to the first
party.
6. If you hear a beep while you are talking, it might be a call-waiting
call incoming.
7. If someone wants to give you a number while you are driving, you can
record 18 seconds of their conversation for later use. I wish they would
allocate more memory to this feature. 18 seconds isn't enough time to get
directions, explanations, or a follow up question answered. Sure, you can
record another memo, but the total is only 72 seconds. How much memory does
a voice memo take, compared to a picture?
