A setting group or ‘set’ is a collection of the set- tings required for sending text messages.
You can, for example, send a text message as a fax (provided that this function is supported by your operator or service provider) by simply se- lecting the set in which you have defined the proper settings for fax transmissions.
Each set has its own submenu:
•Message centre number
Use this menu to store the phone number of the message centre needed for sending text messages.
Key in or edit the phone number and confirm with OK.
•Message sent as
Normally, this menu choice should be set to Text. Your messaging service may however offer you the facility of converting your text messages into alternative formats
•Message validity
This network service allows you to set the length of time that your text messages will be stored at the message centre while attempts are made to deliver them to you.
•Rename this set
