Sms Mailboxes - Siemens Gigaset C470 User Manual

SMS mailboxes

The general mailbox is the default set-
ting. Anyone can access this mailbox and
it cannot be protected by a PIN. You can
additionally set up three personal mail-
boxes and protect these with a PIN. Each
mailbox is identified by a name and a
"mailbox ID" (a kind of extension number).
Please note:
u
If you operate a number of devices
(base stations) with SMS functionality
on a single phone line, then each SMS
mailbox ID may only occur once. In this
case you must also change the preset
ID of the general mailbox ("0").
u
You can only use personal mailboxes if
your service provider supports this
function. You can tell whether this is
the case by the addition of a star (*) to
the number of a (preset) SMS centre.
u
If you have forgotten your mailbox PIN,
you can reset it by restoring the base
station's default settings. This will
delete all SMS messages from all
mailboxes.
