The messaging capabilities of the VX6000 are very good. Send and receive
SMS, email, and chat messages. Add voices and pictures to messages. Other
places claim the VX6000 has MMS. However, this is not MMS. The VX6000 uses
QCP audio format and the pictures aren't framed in SMIL documents when
text messages are sent. True MMS uses wav or amr sound formats. Compatibility
issues arise when sending or receiving true MMS messages from other devices.
The VX6000 allows you to type quickly with T9 predictive text. Enter
the first couple words and the VX6000 will predict what you are trying to
type. Or if you're used to the old way, you have the option of using the
much slower, ABC and 123 formats.
The VX6000 has a strong set of messaging features. It has what all phones
nowadays are expected to have. And outshining the competition is difficult
to do, aside from a built-in QWERTY keypad.
However, Verizon limits the VX6000's full messaging potential by forcing
you to use their network to access email, and send picture messages among
other things. If you're a novice or casual user, then this won't matter
to you. But if you're a gadget loving person that knows the ins and outs
of everything you own, these restrictions may be a drawback.
With Verizon's getALERTS and getTXT users pay 10 cents per message sent
and 2 cents for each message received. Or choose bundled pricing options
of $2.99 per month for 100 text messages and text alerts, $3.99 per month
for 200 text messages and text alerts or $7.99 per month for 600 text messages
and text alerts sent and received.
