You can use the telephone (mobile phone

then call you back. The message playback
begins when you accept the call and press
any key.
The SMS must contain the following:
*<System PIN>*<Ringback number>*
The ringback number is optional.

If a ringback number is entered, it is
dialled; otherwise the notification number
is dialled.

ous sections.
