2.4.2.1 Built-In Text Messaging Service
The built-in text messaging feature allows MOTOTRBO portable and mobile radio users to send
and receive information in a text format. This feature provides a useful alternative to voice on the
MOTOTRBO system. The built-in text message service is fully accessed from the menu system on
MOTOTRBO radio models with keypads and displays. Some aspects of this service are also
available to non-display models.
