Handling SMS messages

Sending an SMS message to the terminal
You can send an SMS message to the terminal e.g. from a mobile phone, using the mobile number
for the terminal. Dial
+ <Mobile number>
The first part of the mobile number is always 870, which is the “country code” for the BGAN system.
If the mobile number is listed in the web interface, you can look it up as follows:
Select
PHONE BOOK
>
Mobile numbers
. If the mobile number is not listed in the web interface,
refer to the documents provided with your airtime subscription.
Receiving a message
If a message has arrived, the icon bar at the top of the web interface shows an unopened
envelope. Click the envelope to see the new message(s).
Otherwise, to see new messages click
MESSAGES
from the left navigation pane.
The page shows new incoming messages.
If the message is not an SMS message but information of voice mail, call your Voice mail service
number to hear the Voice mail. The Voice mail service number is normally listed in the SMS
message.
You may also find the Voice mail service number under
MESSAGES
>
Message settings
. Note that
the voice mail number is only shown here if it is available on the SIM card. Otherwise, refer to the
information included with your Airtime subscription.
Note
The terminal does not accept more than 100 incoming messages (including read and
unread messages). If you have received 100 messages, you have to delete some of them
in order to free space for new messages. Otherwise, the new messages are rejected.
