50 Text messaging

If people do not include the terminal number, the messages will be stored in the Common Box and will be accessible to all users of your BT Elements phone.

If you wish you can change an existing terminal number to another number between 6 and 9.

Using sub-addresses to keep your messages private

Your BT Elements is pre-set to make all text messages available to every handset user with all messages sent from and received via a ‘General Inbox’ (terminal

number 0).

Your BT Elements phone can register up to 5 handsets.

If you have more than one handset registered to your base, each handset has a handset number. This number is also used as a ‘terminal number’ (or sub-address) and allows you to receive personal text messages at your own handset to keep them private from other users.

You must remember to tell people your terminal (handset) number. They must put the relevant terminal number at the end of your telephone number when they send you a text message.
