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.
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 tele-
phone numbers of the SMS centres.
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 37). Only one SMS centre can be the active 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 set-
tings for the send centre on your phone (page 37). Ask your service provider if it sup-
ports 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.
i Please remember that when the SMS function is active the first ring is
suppressed (page 69).

If your phone is connected to a PABX, you may have to prefix the tele-
phone number with an access code (page 74) (this depends on your
PABX).
