How can reception be 
improved? 

If the signal is weak, try another location to make or continue 
with a call, e.g. when indoors move towards a window. 
Reception is often poor in elevators, tunnels or underground 
railways and car parks. 

What is the SMS 
service centre 
number? 

A number for the short message service usually stored on the 
SIM card by the operator and should not need to be entered 
or changed. 

When do I start to incur 
call charges? 

Charges start when a call connects to a person or an 
answering machine. There is no charge for writing or 
receiving an SMS, only when sending an SMS, and none for 
using phone features e.g. alarm clock. 

Did I successfully send 
my SMS? 

If your SMS is in the SMS Outbox then it was OK, or you can 
get confirmation after the SMS is delivered – contact your 
operator for details.
