IMPORTANT

You must subscribe to your Network Provider’s Caller Display Service so that you can use SMS text messaging. A quarterly fee may be payable. Please contact your network provider for more details.

When you are using SMS text messaging you must not withhold your telephone number or the service will not allow you to connect.

Messages to non-compatible phones You may also send messages to landline phones that are NOT SMS compatible.
