SMS (Short Message Service)

Using SMS (Short
Message Service)
SMS allows you to send and receive text
messages between other fixed-line and
mobile phones that support compatible SMS
networks and features.
Important:
L To use SMS features, you must:
– subscribe to the Caller ID and/or
appropriate service

If you have requested that your service
provider block your phone number when
making phone calls, you will not be able
to send SMS messages. In order to send
messages, you need to add "1832" to the
beginning of the Message Centre 1
number. Note that by doing so, your
phone number will be sent along with
your SMS messages.
