The Short Message Service (SMS) support

1

 in UNIVERGE UM8700 provides text message notifica-

tion about new messages in your subscriber mailbox to your mobile telephone or pager. When SMS is 
enabled, your mobile device displays a text description for each new message that arrives. You can con-
figure the messages you want to be notified of (voice, fax, or both), the days and times of day 
UNIVERGE UM8700 can notify you, and the number of your mobile device. 

To use this feature, your cellular or paging service provider must support SMS. The feature must also be 
enabled in your subscriber mailbox by the system administrator. Check with the system administrator to 
find out if it’s available and if you have privileges. In addition, your subscriber mailbox must be set for 
the standard UNIVERGE UM8700 telephone user interface (TUI) for the instructions on this card to be 
correct. The system administrator can tell you if this is the TUI you’re currently using and provide you 
with an alternate SMS quick reference card if necessary.

The Quick Reference on the back of this card gives an overview of the process for using SMS 
notification options.
