Registering/de-registering with an SMS centre
In order to be able to receive text messages on your phone you must first register your
phone number with an SMS service provider. You can find out from the service provider
concerned which information you need to send to register and de-register.
The phone number of the SMS centre must be entered and activated as the active send
service centre in order to register with them.
After you have registered, remember to re-activate the SMS centre as the send centre
via which you wish to send text messages.
Memory
The number of text messages that can be stored by the base station depends on the size
of the messages (around 11 text messages of up to 160 characters each). The memory
is used for the incoming and outgoing message list. If the memory is full, the message
Text list full! Please delete entries
is displayed. Delete text messages you no longer
require from the incoming and outgoing message lists.
You can check how much capacity your SMS memory has left (in %).

Notes on writing and sending an SMS message
If you are interrupted as you are writing (by a call, an incoming SMS or because the
handset changes to idle status because of prolonged inactivity), the SMS is
automatically stored in the
outgoing message list
. You can continue writing the SMS
later (page 51).
Text messages that
cannot
be sent are assigned an error status (page 59) and are placed
in the
incoming message list
.
Text messages are only stored automatically if sending is interrupted. If you wish to
store a message then you must do so
before it is sent
.
i
Make sure that you register the phone number (MSN) that is assigned to
the base station as the send MSN (page 96), and with which you are
sending the text message. If you also want to send and receive text
messages using other registered handsets with different send MSNs,
then you must also have these phone numbers registered.
