SMS-Service (text messages)
SMS service is qualified in this form for use in Germany – consult your network provider about using
this service in other countries.
Your DECT80 is an SMS-compatible phone that can receive, save and send SMS text messages.
You can use this phone with the SMS service of your provider and send SMS messages to other
SMS-compatible devices (e.g. cell phones, PCs, other phones). If the party being called also has an
SMS-compatible phone, the message will then be read out, or saved to a VoiceBox (where provided
and supported by network provider). SMS messages can contain up to 612 characters (equal to 4
SMSs).
Incoming SMS messages are saved at the base station. This means that you can read, write or for-
ward your SMS message from any handset registered at that base station. Only one handset can
access an SMS message at a time when several handsets are in use.
A maximum of 20 SMS messages can be stored. When the memory is full the message
Full memo-
ry! is shown in the display. Refer to the sections "Incoming" and "Outgoing" for information on how to
delete SMS messages.
Please note that the first ring is normally suppressed for the SMS function. The first ring is only
signaled on a deleted number for the SMS center.
