that the telephone is plugged into the telephone wall socket.
There might be a fault on the line. Check your telephone line is working properly.
You might have deleted the server number in error. See page 50 for instructions on how to enter

Cannot send text
Check ser
vice centre number is correct including 1470P prefix (this is for BT lines. If you have
another network provider please check the prefix number with them). In order to send and
receive text messages you must not withhold your number. If you normally withhold your number
the 1470 prefix presents your number for you.
Cannot receive text
You will not be able to receive tex

message sent registers you with the text service.
More than one text messaging product is plugged into the line. Remove other products.
Check service centre number is correct.
Ensure you have subscribed to a Caller Display service and that it is active. You can check this by
noting if your phone displays your caller’s number when you receive an incoming call.
If you are using personal user areas please ensure you have given people your user area
number and that they are entering it to the end of your telephone number when sending you
a text message.
