Sending and receiving SMS (text messages) via VoIP
This section amends the chapter "SMS (text messages)" in the user guide for your Gigaset VoIP phone.
You can now use your telephone to send and receive SMS messages via the fixed line net-
work and VoIP.
You can receive SMS messages (abbreviated: SMS) via all of your telephone's connections
(with the exception of Gigaset.net). You must explicitly specify the (send) line via which
the SMS messages are to be sent (fixed line network or one of your VoIP connections).
Precondition: Your fixed line network and VoIP providers support SMS functionality.
Setting the send line
You define the send line when setting the SMS centres. For each individual SMS centre, you
can specify which of your lines is to be used to send SMS messages when this SMS centre
is activated as the send centre.

Please note
u If you have selected a VoIP connection and the attempt to transmit the SMS messages
fails, the SMS with error status is stored in the incoming message list. Even if you have
activated your fixed line network connection as an alternative connection
(
£ Page 20), the telephone does not attempt to send SMS messages via the fixed line
network.
u If you have selected a VoIP connection as a send line and this is deleted from the con-
figuration, the first VoIP connection in the configuration will be used.
