How to Address a Message & How to Send a Message

How to address a message to:
   Another USA Mobility Two-way Device
   An Internet E-mail Address
   A Word, Advanced Word or Two-way Device on another Carrier
   A text-enabled cell phone



To address a message to a USA Mobility Two-way Word Device:

Simply use the 10-digit-phone number. In some two-way devices, the address
is called a PIN.

If a non-USA Mobility device wants to send a message to you, your e-mail address is:

• Your 10digitphonenumber@usamobility.net or your vanityname@usamobility.net
• Your 10digitphonenumber@my2way.com or your vanityname@my2way.com
• Your 10digitphonenumber@airmessage.net or your vanityname@airmesage.net
• Your 7digitPIN or 10digitphonenumber either @archwireless.net or @arch.net

To address a message to an Internet E-mail Address
Addressing a message to someone's e-mail is no different than the address you would use from your desktop computer. Simply enter the person's address into your two-way device as an e-mail address.

To address a message to any Word, Advanced Word or Two-way Device:
Enter the address in your USA Mobility two-way Device as an e-mail address.

In the paging industry, some devices have a PIN that is a distinct number different from the telephone number, and yet is part of the e-mail address. In these cases, you will need to ask the other person for his or her PIN before you can establish the e-mail address for their device.

Use the chart below to format the device if you do not know the e-mail address.

If you cannot successfully get a message to a device, ask the other person to determine the e-mail address for his or her device. For many carriers, the address is not easily known.
