Possible problems with text messaging

  You must subscribe to your network provider’s Caller Display service for text messaging to work and you must not withhold 

your number. Your network provider may charge you for these services. Please note some other network provider lines 
may not be compatible with this text messaging service.

•  The base station power supply or telephone line cord might not be properly connected. Check that the base station power 

supply is plugged into the mains socket and switched on and that the telephone is plugged into the telephone wall socket.

•  There might be a fault on the line. Check your telephone line is working properly.

•  You might have deleted the server number in error. See page 54 for instructions on how to enter the number.

•  Check service centre number is correct including 1470P prefix (this is for BT lines. If you have another network provider 

please check the prefix number with them). In order to send and receive text messages you must not withhold your 
number. If you normally withhold your number the 1470 prefix presents your number for you.

•  You will not be able to receive text messages until you have first sent a message. The first message sent registers you with 

the text service.

•  More than one text messaging product is plugged into the line. Remove other products.

•  Check service centre number is correct.

•  Ensure you have subscribed to a Caller Display service and that it is active. You can check this by noting if your phone 

displays your caller’s number when you receive an incoming call.

•  If you are using personal user areas please ensure you have given people your user area number and that they are entering 

it to the end of your telephone number when sending you a text message.
