SMS (text messages)

You can send and receive SMS text messages (Short Message Service) with your
handset. You can send a text message to each connection in the fixed network and in
the mobile phone network. Your SMS can be received as a text message on SMS-capable
devices (cell phone, PC, other telephone). If the receiver of your SMS does not have an
SMS-capable device, the SMS will be read to him/her.
You can write, edit, read, delete or forward text messages from any registered SMS-
capable handset that is assigned the same incoming MSN. When several handsets with
the same incoming MSN are in use at any one time, only one handset can access the
SMS function.

General

Text messages are exchanged between SMS centres that are operated by service
providers. The phone number of the SMS centres through which you wish to send and
receive text messages must be entered in your phone (page 57). Up to ten SMS centres
can be entered. You can change the phone numbers of the SMS centres.
You can receive text messages using any of the SMS centres whose number you have
entered. Of course you must be registered to receive text messages with those SMS
centres (page 59).
Your text message is sent through the SMS centre that is activated as the active send
service centre.

Before you can send and receive text messages

Calling Line Identification must not be deactivated permanently for the MSN used
◆
(page 22).
To receive text messages you must be registered with your service provider
◆
(page 59).
The handset must have Unrestricted authorisation for sending SMS. However, to
◆
receive an SMS, the Incoming only authorisation is sufficient.
The phone numbers of the SMS centres entered must not be blocked from the
◆
network provider.
If the telephone of a receiver cannot receive an SMS in the fixed network, the SMS is
automatically read as a voice message. These text messages are delivered directly as a
telephone call between 7.00 and 22.00. Text messages that arrive after 22.00 are saved
and are delivered the next day.
If you have a Preselection agreement with a network provider, find out from them if they
support the performance feature "SMS in the fixed network". (Preselection is a
contractual obligation to a specific network provider.)
In Switzerland, the SMS function is not supported in the ISDN network.
