Need Help?

Send a message to any SkyTel word-messaging customer. It's as easy as 1, 2, 3.

Step 1: 

Enter the SkyTel customer's PIN.

The recipient's Pager Identification Number (PIN) should be entered without any spaces or punctuation. Enter all digits including the toll-free prefix if applicable.

Step 2: 

Type your message.

Be sure to add your name at the end so the recipient knows who sent the message.

The recipient's unit and type of service determine the length of message you can send. If you're not sure what kind of service the recipient has, we recommend limiting the message to 240 characters.

If you know what type of unit and service the recipient has, here are your guidelines: Beepwear - 120 characters; other SkyWord - 240 characters; SkyWord Plus and SkyWriter® - 500 characters; SkyTel Mobile Mail and BlackBerry - 2,000 characters. A character is any letter, number, punctuation, special character or space.

Click on the Character Count button after you've typed the message to see how many characters you've entered.

Step 3: 

Enter a Response Address (optional).

SkyTel customers with SkyReply®, SkyWriter®, SkyTel Mobile Mail or BlackBerry service can respond to your messages directly from their pagers if you supply a response address. This address can be your SkyTel PIN if you can receive word messages, or your internet email address when sending to a SkyWriter®, Mobile Mail or BlackBerry customer.
