The message services can only be used if they are supported by your
network or your provider.
7.5.1 Short message (SMS)
With the Short Message Service (SMS), you can send and receive extra
long messages linked to each other, which consist of several normal short
messages (network service) and may include pictures.
Before you can send short messages or picture messages or e-mail mes-
sages, you must save the number of the short message central office.
You can obtain information on the availability and on the requirements for
use of the SMS e-mail service from your provider.
Note: The unit supports the sending of text messages which exceed the
normal limit for an individual message. As a result, longer messages are
sent in two or more messages. Your provider might charge the respective
fees for this service. Characters with accents or other markings as well as
characters from certain languages (e.g. Chinese) require more space. The
number of characters that can be sent in a single message is therefore
reduced.
At the top of the display you will find a notice of the message length,
which indicates the number of characters still available. “8 (2)”, for exam-
ple, means that you can still add 8 characters, and the text will be sent in
two messages.
7.5.2 E-mail messages
The e-maill application allows you to access your compatible e-mail
account via your telephone, if you are not in the office or not at home,
for example. This e-mail application is not the same as the SMS e-mail
function. The telephone supports e-mail servers with the protocols POP3
and IMAP4. Before you can send and retrieve e-mail, you must do the
following:
• Request a new e-mail account or use the current account.
Ask your provider about the availability of your e-mail account.
• You can obtain information about the settings required for e-mail from
your e-mail provider. You may receive the settings as a configuration
message.
