SMS (Text Messages)

SMS (Text Messages)*

You can send and receive SMS text messages (Short Message Service) with your hand- set. You can write, edit, read, delete or forward text messages from any registered hand- set. When several handsets are in use at any one time, only one handset can access the SMS function.

◆All functions related to SMS text messages, CLIP (Calling Line Identifi- cation Presentation) and CNIP (Calling Name Identification Presenta-

ition) are depending on your network provider!

◆Please remember that when the SMS function is active the first ring is suppressed (page 69).

General

Text messages are exchanged between SMS centres that are operated by service provid- ers. The telephone number of the SMS centres through which you wish to send and receive text messages have to be entered in your phone. Up to five SMS centres can be entered. SMS centres may be preconfigured at the factory. You can change the telephone numbers of the SMS centres.

If your phone is connected to a PABX, you may have to prefix the tele- i phone number with an access code (page 76) (this depends on your

PABX).

You can receive text messages from any of the SMS centres whose number you have entered. Of course you have to be registered to receive text messages with those SMS centres. Your text message is sent through the SMS centre that is entered as the active send service centre (page 38). Only one SMS centre can be the send centre at any one time.

Sending text messages to email addresses

If you wish to send text messages to email addresses you have to make additional settings for the send centre on your phone (page 38). Ask your service provider if it supports the "SMS to email" service and what settings you have to make.

Storage capacity

The number of text messages that can be stored in the base station depends on the size of the messages. The memory is also used for the incoming and draft message lists. When the memory is full, you are prompted to delete messages.
