SMS text messaging — read this first
SMS stands for
short message service
— also called
text messaging
, or just
texting
. Users whose phones
support SMS can send each other messages with up to
160 characters(140 charactoron mobile phones).
Your Symphony
can send and receive SMS messages
to and from mobile phones and compatible land-line
phones. You can also send messages to non-SMS
phones; the messages will be converted into speech.
!
The SMS service is provided by BT. If your network
provider (the company that supplies your telephone
line) is not BT, and you find you can’t send or receive
text messages, check that the network provider
supports the BT SMS service in your area.
Caller Display
IMPORTANT — to use the SMS service, you must
subscribe to the
Caller Display
service (see also page
22) from your network provider;
you can’t use the
SMS service without Caller Display
.
Registering for
the SMS
service
By sending your first SMS text message, you auto-
matically register for the service, and you’ll receive a
text message welcoming you. You may also receive
other text messages with information about the service.
It is occasionally possible to become
de-registered
from the BT SMS service — for example, when a
message cannot be delivered because your SMS phone
is switched off. If this happens, you’ll start to receive
text messages as spoken calls from the Messaging
Centre.
Usually, you can automatically re-register by simply
sending another text message. If you have problems,
turn to page
for advice.
