For PBX users:
– You need to add the PBX line
access number and a dialling pause
to the beginning of the Message
Centre 1 number.
– If you only use the Message Centre
1 number for SMS, store the
Message Centre 1 number as is
(without adding a line access
number or dialling pause) to
Message Centre 2.
