Short messages (SMS)

With Gigaset 4000 Comfort/Micro handsets you can send and receive short
messages (SMS – Short Message Service). For this function, you need an SMS
provider.
With the SMS service, you can send an SMS to any connection in the fixed net-
work and, depending on the SMS provider, in mobile networks too. Your SMS
can be received as a short message on devices with SMS capability (mobile
phone, PC, other telephone). If the party receiving your SMS does not have a
telephone with SMS capability, the SMS is sent as voice output.
Incoming SMS messages are stored in the base station. Thus you can read,
write or forward your SMS messages on any mobile handset which has the
same MSN. If several handsets are in use, only one handset can access SMS
messages at any one time.
