Short Message Service (SMS)
This feature–available only with cellular service–lets you send
and receive text messages to other SMS enabled cellular phones
through the CEL connection at the base or the cordless handset.
Check with your service provider for availability.
Note: If an incoming call arrives, the terminal (handset or base)
on which you are using this feature will not ring. Answer
the incoming call with a terminal that is not being used.
The options available in SMS are:
•Write new
•Saved
•In Box
• Storage status
Note: Due to the data access process in the D Mode CT, the
phone may not respond instantly when keys are pressed.
This is normal operation, and any delay is no more than
one or two seconds.
