You can send and receive SMS (Short Message Service)
messages using your multifunction machine.
If you have installed the included software package and
connected your machine to a PC, you can also manage
SMS messages on the PC (see chapter
PC Functions /
Using Companion Suite IH / SMS).
SMS Requirements
Your device is preconfigured for the use of SMS services.
In order for SMS to function, CLIP must be activated
for your telephone line (see chapter
Settings / Call-
ing Line Identification (CLIP)). Should problems oc-
cur with SMS transmissions, the problem could be that
you are using a private number or your multifunction
machine is operating on an older ISDN system (see
chapter
Settings / ISDN Connection). It is possible
that you will not be able to send and receive SMS mes-
sages from a private branch exchange (depending on the
country and network).
Consult your service provider about
• whether you must register for SMS functional-
ity.
• which mobile telephone providers you can send
SMS messages to and which mobile telephone
providers you can receive SMS messages from.
• the costs charged for sending and possibly for
receiving an SMS.
• which additional services and functions are avail-
able.
