Check Your Mail
To see what E-mails you may have in your Inbox send the TXT message.
MAIL to 126 006 (Note: you may want to store this in your phone book for easy of use)
If you only have one message in your Inbox then you receive the first 160 characters of that E-Mail. If you have more than one message, you receive the contents of your inbox in an SMS message identifying the subject of each E-Mail, which is numbered.
If the number has an * after it, this means the message has not been read.
Reading an E-Mail
Select a message to read from the list. Use the message number that shows up next to the subject in the list.
For instance, to read message 2 from the list of messages, reply to the TXT message list with a new SMS message with the number 2.
Reading more of an E-Mail
TXT only supports 160 characters per message. If the e-mail you're reading has more than 160 characters, it will end with "more".
If you see this, reply to the message with a new SMS message like this:

Replying to an E-Mail
While viewing a message, reply to the message list with a new SMS message like this:
REPLY < message > to 126 006 (< > symbols are not required)
You don't need to type the recipient or the subject; only the message!
