You can use your Gigaset base station to send and receive SMS messages. The
Gigaset M34 software allows you to write and manage the text messages on the PC. This
means that you can handle SMS messages in the same convenient way as you do with
e-mails. In the SMS component, you can see an overview of the SMS messages for your
base station, and you can sort, archive, create and delete text messages.
SMS and EMS
SMS (Short Message Service) is a service that is used to send text messages from one
telephone to another. While this service was previously only available for mobile
phones, SMS messages can now also be sent and received by fixed network devices. The
length of an SMS message is limited to 140 bytes (140 bytes = 160 7-bit characters or
140 8-bit characters).
To send a longer message, the Enhanced Message Service (EMS) can be used. An EMS
message allows you to send pictures and sounds in addition to text. However, the base
station cannot interpret pictures and sounds, and these are displayed as instructions in
text form. When sending and receiving EMS messages, the message is divided into
smaller sections (SMS messages). If you receive an EMS message on your base station,
it is put together from these individual SMS messages. If all sections of an EMS message
could not be transferred, you will see a reference to the missing section.
