SMS (Text Messages)

Text message sending and the draft message list

If a call arrives while you are writing a message, then the message is automatically saved to the draft message list. You can take the call and finish writing or send the message later (page 33).

Text messages that cannot be sent are assigned an error status (page 38) and are put in the incoming message list.

Text messages are only stored automatically if sending is interrupted. If you wish to store a message then you must do so before it is sent.

Your phone line is busy while your text message is being transmitted to the SMS send centre. The message Transferring SMS! is displayed on all handsets.

Remember that some service providers will bill you for a cancelled call i to the SMS centre. Deutsche Telekom's SMS Service will not charge for an

interrupted call.Writing text messagesA single text message can be up to 160 characters long.

If Russian or Greek is set as the display language on your handset, then you must change this setting before you write a text message (page 58). Select a display language that uses the Roman character set (e.g. Deutsch or English). The service provider cannot deliver text messages with Greek or Cyrillic characters. You write a text message like this:
