Not on Nextel.

Thanks option.

Yes you can! I have a 7100i and just click to create a message and then click MMS and select anyones phone number and boom DONE!!! No problems and they have been getting to the other end within a minute or two...

Wrong..........I send MMS's all day, I use Nextel and it works great!

He said text message...
aka, SMS.

What you CAN do, and what I do with my Nextel BB to text my Air Force buds on VZW, is use the phone email address. All carriers have one, for example mine is:



This is the best way: and cheaper for you. If ou have a BlackBerry, you have a BB Unlimited plan, and therefore you can send emails all day long at no additional cost.

I do it all the time.

MMS functions in the same manner. I use it daily to communicate with my friends who have regular phones. It works just like 007 & Ryan said, click MMS & either select a number or enter one. Then type your message & send.

Actually you can use xxx-xxx-xxxx@teleflip from the email portion to send to anyone without knowing their carrier. Nextel MMS sucks though imo.

What program if you use one for your IM'ing on your 7100i?
