Sending A Text Message And The Outgoing Message List - Gigaset CX150 isdn Instructions Manual

Sending a text message and the outgoing message list

Notes on writing and sending an SMS message
If you are interrupted as you are writing (by a call, an incoming SMS or because the
handset changes to idle status because of prolonged inactivity), the SMS is
automatically stored in the outgoing message list. You can continue writing the SMS
later (page 39).
Text messages that cannot be sent are assigned an error status (page 45) and are placed
in the incoming message list.
Text messages are only stored automatically if sending is interrupted. If you wish to
store a message then you must do so before it is sent.
Remember that some service providers will bill you for a cancelled call
i
to the SMS centre.
Writing text messages
A single text message can be up to 160 characters long. If your text is longer, it will be
sent automatically as a linked message. Up to four messages with 153 characters each
can be linked. This means you can enter up to 612 characters. Bear in mind that linked
messages incur correspondingly higher charges.
Write text messages as follows:
