Abstract
Systems and methods provide text messages for services. A service component provides service options to a handset's user interface, receives a service option selection, and provides a first text message to a server based on the selection. The service component receives a second text message from the server in response to the first text message and provides the second text message to the user interface. The service component may provide interactive voice response system service options to the user interface if an entered number is associated with a specified service. The service component may provide and receive text messages as short message service messages via a handset wireless paging channel. The service component may provide short message service messages to the user interface via an interactive voice response system message. The second text message may include a prompt for a request to occasionally receive the second text message.
