SMS (text messages)
You can use your handset to send and receive text messages, so-called SMS (Short Mes-
sage Service). You can write, edit, read, delete or forward text messages from any reg-
istered handset. If several handsets are in operation, only one handset can use the SMS
function at a time.
General
Text messages are exchanged via SMS centres operated by service providers. The tele-
phone numbers of the SMS centres that you want to use to send or receive text mes-
sages have to be entered in your telephone. Altogether you can enter five SMS centres.
SMS centres may already be included as part of the factory setting. You can change the
SMS centre telephone numbers.
You can receive text messages from any of the registered SMS centres. This assumes
that you are registered with the SMS centre in question to receive text messages.
Sending text messages to email addresses
If you want to send an SMS to email addresses, you have to make additional settings on
your telephone for the send centre (page 46). Ask your service provider whether it sup-
ports "SMS to Email" and what settings this requires.
Memory
The number of text messages that can be saved by the base station depends on the size
of the SMS messages stored. The memory is also used for the incoming and outgoing
lists. If the memory is full, you will be prompted to delete text messages.
i
Bear in mind that when the SMS function is activated the first ringer
tone is suppressed (page 98).
i
If your telephone is connected to a PABX, you may have to insert a prefix
to the telephone number (page 108) (this depends on the PABX you use).
