You can only send or receive text messages while in a MetroPCS coverage area or in a compatible roaming area.

Supporting countries and carriers may change. Some phones have a maximum message length of 160 characters.

Due to unforeseen variables such as restrictions on the recipients account/service provider, acts or omissions of connecting or recipients carriers, the functionality of the recipients handset, your location, the location of the recipient or delays in the SMS platform, there is no guarantee of delivery. You will not be notified of non-delivery. When sending an International text message, the recipients handset must be able to display characters from the Roman (Latin) alphabet in order to successfully receive the message. 2002-2012 MetroPCS Wireless, Inc.
