    Does the messaging have signature ?

  2. Anonymous

    yes it does

  3. NW

    The signature line appears on the same line as the message on my pantech hotshot.  How do I fix that?

  4. NW

    How do I fix it so that the pantech hotshot signature line appears below the message?  Right now it appears on the same line as the text message so that it doesn’t look like a signature.  I’ve tried skipping spaces after the message, but it doesn’t help.  Any suggestions?  Thanks!
