phone with SMS functionality, then the SMS is played back.
General
Text messages are exchanged between SMS centres that are operated by service
providers. The telephone number of the SMS centres through which you wish to send
and receive text messages must be entered in your phone (page 48). Up to ten SMS
centres can be entered. By default, the
SMS Service Centre "Anny Way"
and
the
provider's SMS service
are preconfigured. You can change the telephone numbers of
the SMS centres.
You ca receive text messages via
any
of the SMS centres whose number you have
entered. Of course you must be registered to receive text messages with those SMS
centres (page 50).
Your text message is sent through the SMS centre that is entered as the
active

service centre.

In Germany, the SMS service is available exclusively to telephone numbers that are
connected with the
local area network
via
your network provider
(you receive your
telephone bill from your network provider). It is currently not possible to send a text
message if you have a call-by-call connection.
If the telephone of a receiver cannot receive an SMS in the fixed network, the SMS is
automatically read as a voice message. Between 7.00 and 22.00 hrs, these text
messages are delivered immediately in the form of a telephone call. Text messages sent
after 22.00 hrs are stored and delivered the next day.
If you have concluded a preselection contract with a network provider, ask whether they
support the "Fixed line SMS" feature. (Preselection means you are bound contractually
to a network provider.)
In Switzerland the SMS function is not supported within the ISDN network.
