7.5 Messages

The message services can only be used if they are supported by your network or your provider.

7.5.1 Short message (SMS)

With the Short Message Service (SMS), you can send and receive extra long messages linked to each other, which consist of several normal short messages (network service) and may include pictures.

Before you can send short messages or picture messages or e-mail mes- sages, you must save the number of the short message central office.

You can obtain information on the availability and on the requirements for use of the SMS e-mail service from your provider.

Note: The unit supports the sending of text messages which exceed the normal limit for an individual message. As a result, longer messages are sent in two or more messages. Your provider might charge the respective fees for this service. Characters with accents or other markings as well as characters from certain languages (e.g. Chinese) require more space. The number of characters that can be sent in a single message is therefore reduced.

At the top of the display you will find a notice of the message length, which indicates the number of characters still available. “8 (2)”, for exam- ple, means that you can still add 8 characters, and the text will be sent in two messages.

7.5.2 E-mail messages

The e-maill application allows you to access your compatible e-mail account via your telephone, if you are not in the office or not at home, for example. This e-mail application is not the same as the SMS e-mail function. The telephone supports e-mail servers with the protocols POP3 and IMAP4. Before you can send and retrieve e-mail, you must do the following:

•Request a new e-mail account or use the current account. Ask your provider about the availability of your e-mail account.

•You can obtain information about the settings required for e-mail from your e-mail provider. You may receive the settings as a configuration message.
