Sending an SMS message
1. Starting from the main interface, select New > SMS
2. Enter the recipients' numbers using one of the following methods:
● Direct entry: if you have a single recipient, enter the number directly then click the Next
button. If you have more than one recipient, enter their numbers then press the Add button
(arrow pointing downwards) to add them to the list.
● From Phonebook: if your message recipients are recorded in the Contacts folder of your
assistant, click the Contacts button and select your recipients and their numbers. Click
OK next to add them to the Recipient list.
3. Enter the text of the message in the frame displayed. A character and SMS counter displays
the relevant sizes as entry proceeds. A typical message contains up to 160 characters but the
application can send content longer than this by linking more than one message together.
You can insert pre-recorded passages of text in your message using the My text menu.
4. The default setting is for transmission requests not to be carried out immediately. This
enables you to prepare your message off-line and to send it later on (to do this, select it in the
Outbox, and select Tools > Send). Check the desired options:
● Send now: to send your message immediately.
● High priority: to display the content of your message directly on the recipient's mobile
phone screen.
● Request return receipt: to receive a return receipt.
● UCS2 format: to ensure compatibility with non-European language PDTs.
5. Click OK.
Note:
You can also send SMS from outside the application, such as follow:
● From the Contacts folder of your PDT assistant, select the contact to whom you want to
send the SMS. You can either hold the click until a context menu is displayed and select
the Send SMS option, or click the Tools > Send SMS menu.
● From the Today screen of your PDT assistant, click the New > SMS menu.
