All Sprint phones currently sold use SMS, the international standard for mobile text messaging. Sprint SMS is internationally supported, and can send and receive text messages to other countries. Older Sprint phones without SMS can only receive text messages (what Sprint calls Notifications). These phones can send messages via Shortmail, a Sprint-invented web-browser alternative, based on SMS. These phones must pull up received Shortmail messages in the web browser.

Both Shortmail and SMS use the @messaging.sprintpcs.com domain name. The prefix is the full phone number, with area code, for the line a message is to be sent to. Sprint PCS Email uses the @sprintpcs.com domain name, generally prefixed by your Vision username. Email addresses that are @sprint.com are generally for Sprint employees only. Sprint PictureMail uses the @pm.sprint. See similar questions...
