Chapter 9: Managing text messages

Introduction to messaging

You can send a text message to subscribers in your system. For example, when the caller
does not answer or the called telephone is busy. The messages can consist of standard texts
prepared by your system administrator or your own text.
The telephone can accept a maximum of 10 messages. To accommodate the eleventh
message, the earliest message is deleted automatically.
