• Description of the SMS service
The SMS service allows you to send and receive "mini-messages" (or "short messages").
These messages are forwarded to other subscribers to the GSM network or are received
from various sources, depending on the operators of the network.
To access this service, you must use the Microsoft Mailbox application (in order to
configure, write, read and store the messages) and the Telephone application (in order
to be able to send and receive messages via the GSM network). These two applications
are pre-installed in your Mondo.
PLEASE NOTE: Due to the fact that the SMS service operates in conjunction with the GSM
network, it is only possible to send and receive messages if:
• the Telephone application of your Mondo is active and
• you are situated in the area covered by your operator's GSM network.
Before you can send or receive SMS messages on your Mondo, you must configure the
SMS service (for details of the procedure, refer to the relevant section in this Manual).
• Opening the mailbox application
You can do this in various ways:
Ø Direct access:
Press the
program button on the lower part of your Mondo.
Ø Access from the main menu of your Mondo:
1- Click on ÿ Start in the navigation bar.
2- Click on Programs.
3- Click on Mailbox.
Ø Access from the Telephone application (only if you have received new SMS
messages):
Click on the Read function key of the Telephone application.
• Configuring the SMS service
1- Composition of a message template (Microsoft "stationery"):
Certain information relating to the messages to be sent (Message template,
Acknowledgement and Reply requested) must be defined beforehand in order to
ensure that the messages are correctly handled.
Each message template contains the following information:
Ø The number of the messaging centre: This information is provided by your
operator. The messaging centre is a transit area where your messages are
temporarily stored if the contact cannot be contacted (either because his telephone
is switched off or because he is outside the area covered by the network or for
other reasons).
Ø The message format: This information is used by the network in order to adjust the
format of the message to the capacities of the receiver. The predefined formats are:
Text (the default format), Voice, Fax G3, X-400 and Paging. Use of the Text format
(the most commonly used format) is strongly recommended.
Ø The period of validity of the message: This information is used by the network in
order to delete messages which have been stored in the messaging centre for an
excessive long time. At the end of the indicted period, the message is considered to
be obsolete and it is discarded.
