SMS (text messages)
You can send and receive SMS text messages (

ervice) with your hand-
set. You can send an SMS to any fixed network or mobile phone network number. Your
SMS can be received as a text message by any device with SMS functionality (mobile
phone, PC, another telephone). If the recipient of your SMS does not have a phone with
SMS functionality, then the SMS is played back.
You can write, edit, read, delete or forward SMS text messages from any registered
handset that has SMS functionality and to which the same receive MSN has been
assigned. When several handsets with the same receive MSN are in use at any one time,
only
one handset
can access the SMS functions.
General
Text messages are exchanged between SMS centres that are operated by service provid-
ers. The telephone number of the SMS centres through which you wish to send and
receive text messages must be entered in your phone (page 38). Up to ten SMS centres
can be entered. The
SMS Service Centre "Anny Way"
and the
provider's SMS service
are preconfigured
at the factory. You can change the telephone numbers of the SMS
centres.
You can receive text messages via
any
of the SMS centres whose number you have
entered. Of course you must be registered to receive text messages with those SMS cen-
tres (page 40).
Your text message is sent through the SMS centre that is entered as the
active
send
service centre.

You must not allow the network provider to block the phone numbers you have
entered for the SMS centres.
In Germany, the SMS service is available exclusively to telephone numbers that are con-
nected with the
local area network
via
Deutsche Telekom AG
(you receive your tele-
phone bill from Deutsche Telekom). It is currently not possible to send a text message if
you have a call-by-call connection.
If the telephone of a receiver cannot receive an SMS in the fixed network, the SMS is
automatically read as a voice message. Between 7.00 and 22.00 hrs, these text mes-
sages are delivered immediately in the form of a telephone call. Text messages sent
after 22.00 hrs are stored and delivered the next day.
