Among the incoming calls there are also the unanswered calls. Information refers to calls received while the phone is switched on and connected to the network; some operators can give you information via SMS on calls sent to your number while your phone was switched off or unattainable.
EMS/SMS MESSAGES With the Gm882 you can send and receive traditional SMS text messages that are enriched with two functions – T9 and EMS – which make the editing of the text easier and quicker and allow you to insert pictures, animations and sounds in your messages. T9 is a trademark of Tegic communications inc. and is a technology patented in Europe, the United Kingdom and other countries.
Type (menu 2-1-4-4-3) This network service allows you to convert EMS messages into different formats, such as for example: ISDN and PSTN services, Pager, E-mail, Fax, etc. Change the pre-set value “0_Text” only after having contacted your network operator to make sure these formats can be sent. Extended alphabet (menu 2-1-4-4-4) This function is useful for sending special characters (eg. foreign alphabets) which occupy more space in the memory.
Concatenated messages The phone Gm882 supports concatenated messages. This means that you can edit a text with more than the traditional 160 characters. Before you send the message, it will be automatically split into two or more messages (up to 5) that will be sent to the same addressee. In the text editor on the left of the character counter, which is in the bottom righthand corner, a number is displayed indicating how many messages are needed to send the text you are editing.
If the word written by the phone is not the one required, press to change it with all the available matches, that is, with all the other words you could have written, using the same keys. For example, with the keys 3-4-4-4-8 you can write “digit”, “fight” or “eight”. If the word you were looking for is not among the matches, you can add the words you often use and that T9 does not “know” to the dictionary.
There are two types of EMS objects... ...that is, the predefined objects and the user-defined objects. The former are sent from one phone to another as a code that has been defined by the EMS standard and only take up a very small amount of space within the message itself and these objects are reproduced by the addressee’s phone according to the interpretation that the manufacturer gives them. The user-defined objects are not coded by the EMS standard and are therefore sent complete.
Also in the text messages, the numbers stored in the phone book are automatically replaced by the corresponding name so you can read the name of the person that sent you the message and call them without having to search for their number.
