Text messaging		41

Welcome to the BT text messaging service on your BT Elements. Your BT Elements phone can send and receive text messages from participating mobile networks and compatible landline telephones in the UK.

The fixed line text service is provided under BT’s terms and conditions for telephone service. These can be found by visiting the BT.com website at: http://www.bt.com/terms/tor.htm

Subscribe to the text messaging service

When you send your first text message from your BT Elements phone you will automatically be registered for the service.

On receipt of your first text through the service, the system will send you a welcome text message back.

You may also register by sending the word ‘Register’ to

00000 upon which you will receive a confirmation message.

Cost of the fixed line service

There is no subscription charge (other than the subscription to Caller Display). Visit the BT.com website (www.bt.com) to find out how much it costs to send a text message (depends upon your call package).

IMPORTANT

You must subscribe to your Network Provider’s Caller Display service so that you can use text messaging.

A quarterly fee may be payable, please contact your network provider for more details.

You may also send messages to landline phones that are NOT text compatible. Messages to non- compatible lines will be connected to voice text and delivered in spoken words to the telephone as a call. Please note that the conversion can translate common abbreviations and smileys etc, but to ensure maximum clarity of message delivery, abbreviations etc should be used sparingly.

If you experience any problems, please call the Helpline on 0870 605 8047 or email bt.helpdesk@suncorptech.com
