Setting SMS centres
SMS messages are exchanged between SMS
service centres operated by service provid-
ers. You must enter the SMS service centre
through which you wish to send and receive
SMS messages into your phone. You can
receive SMS messages from every SMS serv-
ice centre that is entered, provided you have
registered with your service provider.
Your SMS messages are sent via the SMS
service centre that is entered as the active
send service centre. However, you can acti-
vate any other SMS centre as the active send
service centre to send a current message
(¢ page 37).
The following SMS centre is pre-pro-
grammed:
– 062 210 00 0* (Swisscom)
Should you have any questions regarding
the SMS service, please contact your
provider.
If no SMS service centre is entered, the
SMS menu only consists of the entry Service
Centres. Enter an SMS service centre

Receiving SMS messages on
aPABX
u You can only receive an SMS when Call-
ing Line Identification is forwarded
to the extension of the PABX (CLIP).
The CLIP evaluation of the SMS centre
number is completed in your Aton.
u Depending on your PABX, you may have
to add the access code (external line pre-
fix) before the number of the SMS centre.
If in doubt, test your PABX, e.g., by send-
ing an SMS to your own number: once
with and once without the access code.
u When you send SMS messages, your
sender number may be sent without your
extension number. In this case, the recip-
ient cannot reply to you directly.
Sending and receiving SMS messages on
ISDN PABXs is only possible via the MSN
number assigned to your base.
Please note
When supplied, the access number
(062 210 00 0*) for the Swisscom
SMS centre is pre-programmed.
