Managing Sms Service Centres - Gigaset C2 Operating Manual

SMS (text messages)
If the fixed line recipient's phone is unable to receive an SMS, the text message is played
back automatically as a voice message. Between 7.00 and 22.00 hrs, these text mes-
sages are delivered immediately in the form of a telephone call. Text messages sent
after 22.00 hrs are stored and delivered the next day.
If you have concluded a preselection contract with a network provider, ask whether they
support the "Fixed network SMS" service. (Preselection means you are bound contractu-
ally to a network provider.)
In Switzerland the SMS function is not supported within the ISDN network (status: Sep-
tember 2003).
Ask your service provider,
what charges are billed for sending and receiving a text message,
◆
which mobile phone operators you can send text messages to and which mobile
◆
phone operators you can receive text messages from,
which functions your SMS service offers,
◆
how you are registered with SMS centres for which your phone may already be pre-
◆
configured – automatically by sending a message or by a special registration proce-
dure.

Managing SMS service centres

SMS messages are exchanged through SMS service centres. To send and receive a text
message, you require the phone number for your service provider's SMS centre. You
have to store this phone number in your telephone.
You may enter up to ten SMS centres in your telephone.
Sending an SMS – send centre
You must enter the phone number of the SMS centre via which you want to send the
SMS in your telephone and activate it as "send centre" (page 55 and page 56). This
phone number will be used for sending all SMS messages.
As supplied, the "Anny Way" SMS centre has already been entered (number 0190
01504) and activated as the send centre. This means that, in Germany, you may send
text messages immediately.
You can activate another SMS centre as the active send service centre. The send centre
that was activated previously is then automatically deactivated.
Receiving an SMS
You can receive an SMS message via any SMS centre you have entered provided you
have registered with these SMS centres as an SMS recipient (if registered, see page 57).
