Sending SMS
(text messages)

SMS messages via the fixed line/ISDN and
VoIP.
You must specify the line via which SMS are
sent. You can receive SMS messages (abbre-
viation: SMS) via all of your base's connec-
tions except for Gigaset.net.
Your base is delivered ready to send SMS
messages as soon as the phone is connected
to the fixed line/ISDN. If you do not specify
any settings, the SMS messages are sent via
the fixed line/ISDN.
