the SMS light will flash and the number of

Delivery of SMS messages
The SMS Service will attempt to deliver a message to
you three times, but if your line is busy or otherwise
unavailable and the message is undelivered it will be
stored for a maximum of three days. After 3 days the
message will be deleted from the server. If you send
an SMS text message within the 3 day period the server
will attempt to deliver the message to you following
your connection.
If you do not wish to be disturbed at a certain time of
the day, you can arrange for your SMS messages to
be delivered between preferred hours. To arrange this
facility, please call 0911 023 5013 and leave a message
clearly stating:
• Your name.
• Your full telephone number (including dialling code)
that your Relate SMS is connected to.
• The start time and the end time for your messages
to be delivered (e.g. start time 9.00am, end time
10.00pm).
Your SMS account will be updated within the next
48 hours.
IMPORTANT
If you have been sending or receiving SMS text
messages and you then decide to unplug your Relate
SMS from the telephone line or cancel your Caller
Display subscription, we recommend you contact
Bizzyline to ensure your telephone number is deleted
from the SMS server database. (Please see page 47
for Bizzyline contact details). If you do not do this
you may receive automated calls as the server attempts
to send messages to your Relate SMS.
Note
You may notice an additional digit (usually
9
)
at the end of numbers in received text messages.
Where it is a 9, it has been added at the SMS
server to indicate that sub-addressing, a feature
that allows more than one SMS phone to be used
on a line, is not being used. Relate SMS does not
support sub-addressing, therefore, those receiving
texts from you will find a 9 added to your number.
