Sending A Text Message And The Outgoing Message List - Gigaset C2 Operating 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 automati-
cally stored in the outgoing message list. You can continue writing the SMS later
(page 43).
Text messages that cannot be sent are assigned an error status (page 50) 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. Deutsche Telekom's SMS Service will not charge for an
interrupted call.
Writing text messages

A single text message can be up to 160 characters long.
Remember that the service provider cannot deliver a text message that contains Greek
or Cyrillic characters.
Gigaset C2:
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.
Remember that the service provider cannot deliver a text message that contains Greek
or Cyrillic characters. If you have set Greek or Russian as your display language there-
fore, you will need to change the input language before you write a message.
When you have opened the input window for the text message, press the display key
MENU first. From the menu, select Predictive Text Language and then press OK to
confirm your choice. Now select an input language that uses the Roman character set
(e. g. Deutsch or English). Press OK to confirm your selection and then briefly press
