Do you have two text phone bases connected to
the same phone line?
If you have two text phone base stations plugged
into one line, you are likely to experience
problems receiving text messages. Normally, only
one SMS enabled base unit (DECT or cordless) can
be plugged into any line.
If you do want to use two base units and still
receive written text you must delete receive
service centre number from one of the base
stations. To do this on your BT Synergy, see page
54. This will allow you to send text via either
base station but texts will only be received on the
product with the active receive centre number.
If the base unit with the active receive centre
number is a DECT product then all handsets
registered to it will be able to receive text
messages.

Your BT Synergy can store up to a total of 50
short messages across all handset Outboxes,
Drafts boxes and Inboxes.
