Do you have two text phone bases connected to the same phone line?
If you have two text phone base stations plugged into one line, you are likely
to experience problems receiving text messages. Normally, only one SMS
enabled base unit (DECT or cordless) can be plugged into any line.
If you do want to use two base units and still receive written text you must
delete receive service centre number from one of the base stations. To do
this on your C5010A, see page 59.
This will allow you to send text via either base station but texts will only be
received on the product with the active receive centre number.
If the base unit with the active receive centre number is a DECT product then
all handsets registered to it will be able to receive text messages.
