ervice) with your hand-
set. You can write, edit, read, delete or forward text messages from any registered hand-
set that has SMS functionality. When several handsets are in use at any one time, only
one handset
can access the SMS function.
General
Text messages are exchanged between SMS centres that are operated by service provid-
ers. The telephone number of the SMS centres through which you wish to send and
receive text messages must be entered in your phone. Up to five SMS centres can be
entered. SMS centres may be preconfigured at the factory. You can change the tele-
phone numbers of the SMS centres.
You can receive text messages from
any
of the SMS centres whose number you have
entered. Of course you must be registered to receive text messages with those SMS cen-
tres. Your text message is sent through the SMS centre that is entered as the active send
service centre (page 29). Only one SMS centre can be the send centre at any one time.
Your text message is sent through the SMS centre that is entered as
SMS Centre No.
1
(active send service centre). However you can activate any other SMS centre as the
active send service centre to send a current message (page 29). Note that the next text
message you write will be sent
automatically
through
SMS Centre No. 1
again.
Sending text messages to email addresses
If you wish to send text messages to email addresses you must make additional settings
for the send centre on your phone (page 29). Ask your
service provider if he supports
the "SMS to email" service and what settings you must make.
Storage capacity
The number of text messages that can be stored in the base depends on the size of the
messages. The memory is used for the incoming and draft message lists. When the
memory is full, you are prompted to delete messages.
