The Short Message Service (SMS) allows you to send and receive text mes-
sages consisting of up to 160 characters.
You can receive text messages when the phone is in standby mode, during a
call or when incoming calls are diverted to another phone number.
If your SIM card does not contain the phone number to your network service
centre, you must specify the number yourself. Otherwise you cannot reply to
messages received or send your own messages. See “Enabling the Phone to
Send SMS” on page 37.
Note!
The Short Message Service may not be available on all networks. Some
network operators may only allow SMS to be sent within their own network.
Receiving a Message
When you receive a message, you hear a signal and the display indicates that
you have a new message. The indicator light on the top of the phone rapidly
flashes green.

All networks do not send an audible signal.
