Useful SMS Commands for Adafruit's Fona

Was playing around with Adafruit's new Fona, a cellphone board for DIY. I wanted to register my T-Mobile SIM card on the T-Mo site so I could check the balance on my pre-paid account.

The T-Mobile sign-up process sends a password SMS to the phone number of the card you're using for the Fona, to be entered on the registration web page. Hmn. I had already sent SMS messages using the nice Adafruit Fona tutorial. But how do I receive an SMS?

Here, LMGTFY: a nice guide found here.
