Exchange messages with mobiles

When you first get your iPhone, your network carrier will probably send you a text telling you how to activate picture messaging, or MMS.
By default, incoming texts pop up in the middle of the screen as soon as they arrive, on top of whatever you're doing. If your screen isn't locked, you'll see buttons to Close or Reply. The Show Preview option and others, can be changed in Settings > Messages.
