The BGAN Satellite Terminal supports Short Message Service (SMS) capabilities. The Short
Message Service handles point-to-point messages, and SMS messages can be sent from the
terminal, and received by the terminal.
The text messages can contain up to 160 ASCII characters. The amount of data actually
transmitted with an SMS message is dependent on the message size.
Note
SMS Messages can be read, edited, created, and sent via the SMS Application in
the BGAN LaunchPad.
You cannot access SMS from an ISDN Handset or any other
ISDN equipment.
The configuration screen for Text Messages can be accessed from the
Settings
Pull Down menu
of the
Text
screen. To be able to send text messages you need to have the SMS service center
configured with the following number: +870772001799.
