and VoIP.
You must specify the line via which SMS are sent. You can receive SMS messages
(abbreviation: SMS) via all of your phone's connections except for Gigaset.net.
Your telephone is delivered ready to send SMS messages as soon as the phone is
connected to the fixed line. If you do not specify any settings the SMS messages are
sent via the fixed line.

vider. This happens automatically when you send the first SMS via the provider's
