SMS (text messages)

You can only send and receive SMS mes-
sages via the fixed network.
When an SMS is sent, the base station
automatically establishes a connection via
the fixed network.
Your unit is supplied ready for you to send
SMS messages immediately.

connection.
u
Your network provider supports SMS in
the fixed network (information on this
can be obtained from your network
provider).
u
You are registered with your service
provider to send and receive SMS.
SMS messages are exchanged between
SMS centres that are operated by service
providers. You must enter the SMS centre
in the phone through which you wish to
send and receive. You can receive SMS
from every SMS centre that is entered pro-
vided you have registered with your serv-
ice provider.
Your text message is sent through the SMS
centre that is active. However, you can
activate any other SMS centre to send a
current message (page 28).
If no SMS centre has been entered, an

prevent this, suppress the first ringtone
for all external calls (page 35).
