SMS (text messages)

Text messages to PABXs

uYou can only receive a text message when the Calling Line Identification is forwarded to the extension of the PABX (CLIP). The CLIP of the phone number of the SMS centre is evaluated in your Gigaset.

uYou may have to prefix the number of the SMS centre with an access code (this depends on your PABX). You can store the access code in your base station.

If in doubt, you can test your PABX by sending a text message to your own number once with and once without the access code before the number of the SMS centre.

uWhen you send messages, your sender number may be sent without your extension number. The recipient cannot reply to you directly in this case.

Text messages can only be sent and received through ISDN exchanges with the MSN number assigned to your base station.
