Short messages (SMS)

Step
by
step
With Gigaset 4000 Comfort/Micro Comfort handsets you can send and receive
short messages (SMS – Short Message Service). You will need an SMS service
provider for this function.
Through your SMS service provider you can send SMS messages to any line in
the fixed network and, depending on the service offering, also send them in
mobile radio networks. Your SMS can be received as a short message on SMS-
enabled devices (mobile phone, PC, another phone).
Incoming SMS messages are stored in the base. This means you can read,
write or forward your messages on any handset to which the receiving call
number has been assigned. If several handsets are being operated, only one of
them can use the SMS function at any time.
