5 MESSAGING
The Optus MobileSat S2 provides the ability to send pre-arranged
(coded) messages over the network without setting up a phone
call. This service requires setting up by your Service Provider
and the pre-coding of the messages at both source and
destination.
Each phone has the ability to send and receive up to 40 different
messages, each with its own attached 6 digit message code and
6 digit destination number. Each message is stored for user
display and has a maximum of 30 characters.
If you wish to say for example "Vehicle has stopped" or "Vehicle
is moving", set these messages in your memory, with a selected
code and destination number.
The destination will need to have the same messages installed
with the same codes, but not necessarily in the same memory
locations. The actual text of the message is NOT sent over the
network, only its code, so for the message to have any meaning,
the other end must know what the code means. The destination
may be another satellite telephone or a Dispatch Centre.
FCN 82 is used to recall a message for sending or for the editing
and storing of messages. Note that the destination number, is
not necessarily the number of the phone. Check with Optus.
SEND a Message
Phone must be in Standby mode (not In Use).
