Samsung a740 text messaging

I finally upgraded my phone. I've been a loyal, pretty much problem free
Sprint user for the last 6 years and I had the Samsung N400. I was happy
with it. But it was beat up pretty good so I went to radio shack and bought
the Samsung a740. I qualifiied for the "$150 upgrade rebate" Its an ok
phone so far, its only been a week. On my old phone when I wanted to "text"
message someone I used what was refered to as "shortmail" This cost me
nothing as it was part of my plan. It was a simple and quick process of
connecting first Now with this new phone there is e-mail capabilties, but
not the "shortmail" I am familiar with. It has text messaging I guess its
SMS. Am I being charged for these text messages when I send them now? If so
then I would rather go back to the shortmail. Are there new phones out there
that still have that shortmail capability? I can still return this one but
only for another week.

Thanks!

Steve

There are no new phones out there that still have Short Mail
capability. The last model that still was a Wireless Web phone was
discontinued years ago.
