• To create a note, tap the icon that looks like a pencil writing on a notepad in the upper-right corner (the same icon that’s used to create new mail messages in the iPhone’s Mail application).
• To send a note to multiple recipients, tap the new letter icon, thereupon
  
  
  
  
  tap the + button to add a recipient from your contact list. Tap the + button again to add another recipient, and so forth.
• The search operate works precisely as you’d expect: Tap the Search button, enter a term, and press “Search.” A list of items containing the term will seem, with the moment of sending/receipt indicated.

• call the sender or receiver of a specific text notice directly by tapping the “call” button while viewing an individual note.
• access a list of predefined messages by tapping the “Template” button.
• Insert smileys via icons by tapping the “Smiley” button.
