You can use your base station to send and receive SMS text messages (Short Message
Service). You ca send an SMS to any fixed network or mobile phone network number.
Your SMS can be received as a text message by any device with SMS functionality
(mobile phone, PC, another telephone). If the recipient of your SMS does not have a
phone with SMS functionality, then the SMS is played back (SMS 2phone).

All SMS functions are dependent on the network provider.

If the telephone of a receiver cannot receive an SMS in the fixed network, the SMS is
automatically read as a voice message. Between 7.00 and 22.00 hrs, these text
messages are delivered immediately in the form of a telephone call. Text messages sent
after 22.00 hrs are stored and delivered the next day.
If you have concluded a preselection contract with a network provider, ask whether they
support the "Fixed line SMS" feature. (Preselection means you are bound contractually
to a network provider.)
