Chapter 6 - Short messages 6-1 6. Short messages Activate the Short Message Service (SMS) application by pressing the button labeled "SMS" on the communicator interface keyboard. To send and receive SMS the following requirements 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 Message 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.
