Chapter 6 - Short messages 6-1

6. Short messages

Activate the Short Message Service (SMS) appli-

cation by pressing the button labeled “SMS” on

the communicator interface keyboard.

To send and receive SMS the following require-

ments must be met:

• Short Message Service (SMS) must be

supported by the network you are using.

• Your SIM card must be activated for SMS.

• You must store the Short Message Service

Center (SMSC) phone number in the SMS

application’s settings.

Your network operator may be able to send a

special SMS to your communicator which will set

the SMSC number for you. Contact your network

operator for details.

The Short Message Service enables you to send

and receive short alphanumeric text messages of

up to 160 characters over the GSM network. If

the message is longer, it will be sent as several

messages.

The advantages of short messages are: sending is

practically instantaneous, messages can be sent

or received even during a voice or data call and

messages can be read in any GSM mobile phone

that has the capability. The SMSC (Short Mes-

sage Service Center) will take care of delivering

the message even if the receiving phone is off at

the time of sending.

The SMS main view shows the following folders

plus the Document outbox.

• Own texts — Texts that you have written.

• Received messages — Messages you have

received (see ”Received messages” on page 6-5).

• Standard messages — Your message templates

(see ”Standard messages” on page 6-5).

• Business cards — All contact cards in the

Contacts directory (see ”Business cards” on

page 6-6).

• Info messages — Informational messages

sent by the network (see ”Info messages” on

page 6-5).

• Delivery reports — Information about the

status of sent messages.

• Document outbox — Described in Chapter 12

”Document outbox” on page 12-1.

Note: You can only send short messages to

phone numbers stored in Tel (GSM) fields.

Be sure to write down the area code as

well as the phone number.
