Managing SMS service centres
SMS messages are exchanged through SMS service centres. To send and receive a text
message, you require the phone number for your service provider's SMS centre. You
have to store this phone number in your telephone.
You may enter up to ten SMS centres in your telephone.
Sending an SMS – send centre
You must enter the phone number of the SMS centre via which you want to send the
SMS in your telephone and activate it as the "send centre" (page 48 and page 49). This
phone number will be used for sending all SMS messages.
By default, the "Anny Way" SMS centre has already been entered (number 0190 01504)
and activated as the send centre. This means that, in Germany, you may send text
messages immediately.
You can activate another SMS centre as your send centre. The send centre that was
activated previously is then automatically deactivated.
Receiving an SMS
Text messages can be received via all SMS centres entered, assuming you are registered
with these SMS centres as an SMS recipient (for information about registering, see
