different types of messages from Wayne State: by text message to a cell phone,

may apply.
WSU Instant Messaging
Wayne State University Instant Messaging (IM) is another way to communicate
and collaborate. Faculty, staff,
and students can easily send and receive real-time messages in a conversational
manner and transfer files in a safe and secure setting by using the Spark
IM client on WSU's network. You need a valid WSU AccessID to use this IM
service. WSU IM also is a good business productivity tool, because you
can use it to exchange quick messages between several people at the same
time and get instantaneous replies or answers to questions. IM is especially
advantageous for real-time collaboration between people in multiple locations.
