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.

When you are using 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 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 emoticons etc, but to ensure maximum clarity of message delivery, abbreviations etc should be used sparingly.

WARNING

The text feature will not work properly if you have more than one text product connected to your telephone line. You will need to disconnect one text product.
