Managing Sms Service Centres - Siemens Gigaset C1 User Manual

If you have entered into a preselection contract with a network provider, ask whether
they support the "Fixed line SMS" feature. (Preselection means you are bound contrac-
tually to a network provider.)
In Switzerland, the SMS function is not supported on the ISDN network (as of Septem-
ber 2003).
Ask your service provider
what charges are billed for sending and receiving a text message,
◆
which mobile phone operators you can send text messages to and which mobile
◆
phone operators you can receive text messages from,
which functions your SMS service offers,
◆
how you are registered with SMS centres which your phone may already be precon-
◆
figured for – automatically by sending a message or by a special registration proce-
dure.

Managing SMS service centres

SMS messages are exchanged through SMS service centres. To send and receive a text
message, you require the phone number for your service provider's SMS centre. You
have to store this phone number in your telephone.
You may enter up to ten SMS centres in your telephone.
Sending an SMS – send centre
You must enter the phone number of the SMS centre you want to use for sending text
messages in your telephone and activate it as a "send centre" (page 38 and page 39).
This phone number will be used for sending all SMS messages.
As supplied, the "Anny Way" SMS centre has already been entered (number 0900 32 66
900) and activated as the send centre. This means that, in Germany, you may send text
messages immediately.
You can activate another SMS centre as the active send service centre. The send centre
that was activated previously is then automatically deactivated.
Receiving an SMS
You can receive an SMS message via any SMS centre you have entered provided you
have registered with these SMS centres as an SMS recipient (if registered, see page 40).
