SMS (Text Messages)

With your handset you can send and receive text messages using the so-called SMS
(Short Message Service). You can write, edit, read, delete or forward text messages from
any registered handset that has SMS functionality. When several handsets are in use at
any one time, only one handset can access the SMS function.
SMS is not available in all countries. Please ask your service provider if
i
SMS is supported for your telefone line.
Please remember that when the SMS function is active the first ring is
i
muted (page 91).

General

Text messages are exchanged between SMS centres that are operated by service provid-
ers. The telephone number of the SMS centres through which you wish to send and
receive text messages must be entered in your phone. Up to five SMS centres can be
entered. SMS centres may be preconfigured at the factory. You can change the tele-
phone numbers of the SMS centres.
You can receive text messages from any of the SMS centres whose number you have
entered. Of course you must be registered to receive text messages with those SMS cen-
tres. Your text message is sent through the SMS centre that is entered as the active send
service centre (page 41). Only one SMS centre can be the active send centre at any one
time.
Your text message is sent through the SMS centre that is entered as SMS Centre No.
1(active send service centre). However you can activate any other SMS centre as the
active send service centre to send a current message (page 41). Note that the next text
message you write will be sent automatically through SMS Centre No. 1 again.
Sending text messages to email addresses
If you wish to send text messages to email addresses you must make additional settings
for the send centre on your phone (page 41). Ask your service provider if he supports
the "SMS to email" service and what settings you must make.
Storage capacity
The number of text messages that can be stored in the base depends on the size of the
messages. The memory is used for the incoming and draft message lists. When the
memory is full, you are prompted to delete messages.
