SMS service centre
SMS messages are distributed via a Service Centre. If you want to send SMS
text messages, you must program a service centre number in your handset

choice for the necessary service centre call numbers and the procedure for
enabling the SMS service.
Your telephone has already been prepared to send SMS text messages. Ser-

required Service Centre in the SMS menu “SMS / SMS settings / Send ser-
vice“.
