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.

You may also send messages to landline phones that are NOT SMS 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 deliver, abbreviations etc should be used sparingly.
