Sprint-Nextel hybrids have a SIM card to permit walkie-talkie use.
Sending and receiving email and text messages on the Sprint-Nextel hybrid phones, the ic502 and the ic902, helps you stay in touch with friends, family and colleagues--even when you are away from the office. Sprint-Nextel hybrids are unique in that they use the high-speed Sprint data network for voice calls and data in addition to the Nextel Integrated Digital Enhanced Network (iDEN), which is used for push-to-talk walkie-talkie calls. As such, the "ic" hybrid phones have two separate radios.
Instructions
Sending and Receiving Emails
1. Press the "Menu" key in the center of the directional buttons, and select "Web." Emails on the ic502 and ic902 hybrids must be sent and received using Web-based email clients as, unlike traditional Nextel devices, Sprint-Nextel hybrids do not support Java-based email client applications.
2. Press the right softkey to open the "Options" menu, and select "Go to URL."
3. Type the URL of your Web-based email client's mobile site using the Sprint-Nextel hybrid's keypad. For example, Gmail mobile access is available at m.gmail.com, and the Yahoo! mobile service may be accessed at m.yahoo.com/mail.
4. Press "Go," which is assigned to the left softkey, after entering the Web address.
5. Log in to your email account by entering your user name and password on the sign-in screen for your provider. Highlight the "Sign In" button in the ic502 or ic902 browser and press "OK" to access the account.
6. Browse and read emails from within the Sprint browser on the phone. To compose a new message, choose the "Compose" or "New" option in your Web-based email client and use the keypad to enter the message.
7. Press the "End" key to exit the browser when you are done accessing your email on the Sprint-Nextel hybrid.
Sending and Receiving Text Messages
8. Press the "Menu" button at the center of navigation keys, and open the "Messaging" program. Select "Send Message" and choose "Text Message" as the type being sent.
9. Enter the destination phone numbers and email addresses using the keypad on your phone. If sending the text message to frequent contacts, select the "Add from Contacts" option and scroll to find your intended contact. If you are sending the message to a recent contact not saved to your contacts list, select the "Add Recent Recipients" option to find the phone number.
10. Press the "Next" softkey after entering all recipient phone numbers and email addresses.
11. Navigate to the "Message" heading using the directional keys, and begin composing the text message using the keypad on your ic502 or ic902. If you want to change the input type in use on the device, press the right softkey, which reads "Options," to select between, letter, word and numeric text input styles.
12. Press the "Menu" key after typing the message. Select additional text messaging options, if desired. For example, your text can include instructions for the recipient to call you back, you can mark the message urgent or you can request a read receipt. Check the boxes next to any of these options if you want to use them.
13. Press "Send," assigned to the left softkey, to send the message to the intended recipients.
14. Wait for replies and subsequent text messages to be forwarded to your Sprint-Nextel hybrid phone. Unlike email access on the ic502 and ic902 models, text messages are pushed directly to the device upon receipt. No manual intervention is needed to receive text messages.
