Short messages  (SMS) 

The SMS service allows you to send or receive SMS messages to other terminals. 
The messages are not transferred directly to the other terminal but instead are sent 
to your network operator's message center. Your telephone supports so-called 
Long Messages, so your messages can contain up to 459 characters (3 chained 
messages). You can save up to 20 messages in the inbox. To use the SMS function 
it is essential support for transferring the call number (CLIP) exists. Then all you 
have to do is register with your message center and away you go. 

You can also send your short message to a subscriber that does not have an SMS-
enabled device. Then the short message is read out loud as a voice message. 

Please refer to your network operator's information material for this and other 
functions. 

Please observe the following points so that you can send and receive short 
messages (SMS) with your telephone. 

Configuring the telephone connection 

If you have an analogue telephone connection, please check whether you can 
access the "Call number transfer" and "Call number display" (CLIP, incoming and 
outgoing) functions. To do so, please enquire of your network operator whether 
these features are available for your connection. 

If you have an ISDN connection check that call number display (CLIP) is activated 
and that call number transfer (CLIR) is not suppressed in your PABX.
