How do i text from my blackberry 7290

Open your address book and select the person you want to txt. Click the menu button, and select "SMS Text ..Name...".

Alternatively, open your inbox, press the menu button and select "Compose SMS Text", then choose the person you want to send it to.

If you receive a txt from someone else, all you have to do to txt them back is respond to it like you would a regular email.
