Q: How do I compose text
messages from my cellular phone?
A:
You
enter letters and numbers by pressing the appropriate
keys on your phone. It's easy. Each key (except
the "*" key which is backspace) has more than
one value. For example, pressing the 2 key once
gives you the letter A. Twice gives you the
letter B. Four times is the number 2. Five times
and you're back to A. When you hear the letter
or number you want to use, just hit the pound
key to advance to the next letter.
To enter a space to separate words, press pound twice (once to advance to the next letter, once again to indicate the end of a word.)
To backspace, press the star key (*). You can find punctuation on the 1 key. Keep pressing 1 and you'll hear a selection of punctuation marks.
Here's a guide to the different values for each key.

nav bar. Once on the Edit Address Book page,
simply type in your friend's SMSjunction handle
(or click "search" if you don't know it) and

send your friend a message. If your friend is

be added to your address book.
Q: Can I send a friend a message if s/he's not a member of SMSjunction?
A: Yes You can send any friends a message
even if they are not a member of SMSjunction. But
do remember that if your friends are not members
of SMSjunction.com they would not be able to send
the messages to the group but just receive the
messages. So start a group and invite them to
become members to take full advantage of SMSjunction
and just start exchanging messages.
Q:
Can I chat with my friends like we do on Yahoo
or MSN?
A: SMSjunction is not a chat service per sec.
SMSjunction is a way to exchange text and voice
messages with groups of your friends via your
mobile phones and computers. However, if you
launch the SMSjunction Mobile on SMSjunction.com,
you can instant message other SMSjunction members
and groups, which is similar to chat.
Q:
I never got my validation code, what should
I do? Can I still use SMSjunction?
A: You can still use SMSjunction if you have
not validated your device, but you won't be
able to receive any SMSjunction text messages on
your mobile phone until you enter the validation
code we sent you.
If you have not received your validation code you may want to verify that your device is text-message enabled by contacting your wireless service provider (eg Bharti, AT&T, Bpl Mobile, Orange, etc). Also, since sending a validation code to your phone is just like sending any other email, it may experience the same delays that other types of email experience. If you continue to have problems, click the "Contact Us" link in the nav bar and send us an email so we can troubleshoot.
Until you validate your device, we will send you all your SMSjunction messages to your email account. You can also read any messages you get via the Read Messages link on the nav bar.
