7.4 Text messages
Another function of your TETRA terminal is sending text messages of up to 140 characters
(160 if the destination address is a telephone number).
You can create a new message by using the keypad to type the text (Text\New message
Menu), or select one of the messages stored in the outbox (Text\Outbox Menu).
Once you have written the message or selected one from the outbox, select the destination
number, as explained in section 8.3 (status messages), and press the green key
to send
the message.
The terminal will indicate the result of the operation with an information message.
No action is necessary to receive text messages. When you receive one, you will hear a
characteristic tone and the
icon will indicate in the lower right of the screen that there is a
new message to read.
In the Text\Inbox menu you can consult all received text messages, with the possibilities of
read the message, edit, forward, and call the sender of the message (Inbox\Phone Back).
Also, in Text\SDS Options you can access the different parameters which can be modified in
the text message service, for example, activating delivery reports.
