Texting Question

On my first Tour ( on # 2 ), when I went into contacts, highlighted a name, then pressed the trackball, a dialogue box popped up asking " Send SMS Text to which # " . My new one doesn't do this. Anyone know how to turn this feature on ? Thanks for any help.

When you're in CONTACTS and depress the trackball, you get the contact's information. What you're describing only happens when you depress the trackball on a contact's name while you're in PHONE.
