SMS mailboxes
The General Mailbox is the default set-
ting. Anyone can access this mailbox and 
it cannot be protected by a PIN. You can 
also set up three personal mailboxes and 
protect these with a PIN. Each mailbox is 
identified by a name and a "Mailbox ID" (a 
kind of extension number).
Please note:
u If you operate a number of devices 
(base stations) with SMS functionality 
on a single phone line, then each SMS 
mailbox ID may only occur once. In this 
case you must also change the preset 
ID of the general mailbox ("0"). 
u You can only use personal mailboxes if 
your service provider supports such a 
function. You can tell that this is sup-
ported by the fact that a star (*) is 
added to the number of a (preset) SMS 
centre.
u If you have forgotten your mailbox PIN, 
you can reset it by restoring the base 
station's factory settings. This will 
delete all messages from all mail-
boxes.
