SMS stands for short message service — also called
text messaging, or just texting. Users whose phones
support SMS can send each other messages with up to
160 characters (140 characters on mobile phones).
Your DECT 1915/1915+1 can send and receive SMS messages
to and from mobile phones and compatible land-line
phones. You can also send messages to non-SMS
phones; the messages will be converted into speech.
Check with your Telephone Network provider (the
!
complany that supplies your telephone line) if the
SMS service is supported in your area.

Caller Display

IMPORTANT — to use the SMS service, you must
subscribe to the Caller Display service (see also page
22) from your network provider; you can't use the
SMS service without Caller Display.
Registering for By sending your first SMS text message, you auto-
the SMS matically register for the service, and you'll receive a
service text message welcoming you. You may also receive
other text messages with information about the service.
It is occasionally possible to become de-registered
from the SMS service — for example, when a
message cannot be delivered because your SMS phone
is switched off. If this happens, you'll start to receive
text messages as spoken calls from the Messaging
Centre.
Usually, you can automatically re-register by simply
sending another text message. If you have problems,
turn to page 51 for advice.
