SMS (text messages)

SMS (text messages)
You can send and receive SMS text messages (Short Message Service) with your
handset. You can 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.
You can write, edit, read, delete or forward SMS text messages from any registered
handset that has SMS functionality and to which the same receive MSN has been
assigned. When several handsets with the same receive MSN are in use at any one time,
only one handset can access the SMS functions.

General
