Welcome to the BT text messaging service on your BT Verve
450. Your BT Verve 450 can send and receive text messages
from participating mobile networks and compatible landline
telephones in the UK.
The fixed line text service is provided under BT’s terms and
conditions for telephone service. These can be found by
visiting the BT.com website at: http://www.bt.com/terms
Subscribe to the text messaging service
When you send your first text message from your BT Verve
450 you will automatically be registered for the service.
On receipt of your first text through the service, the system
will send you a welcome text message back.
You may also register by sending the word ‘Register’ to 00000
upon which you will receive a confirmation message.
Cost of the fixed line service
There is no subscription charge (other than the subscription to
Caller Display). Visit the BT.com website (www.bt.com) to find
out how much it costs to send a text message (depends upon
your call package).
IMPORTANT
You must subscribe to your Network
Provider’s Caller Display service so that
you can use text messaging and you
must not withhold your telephone
number.
A quarterly fee may be payable, please
contact your network provider for
more details.
You may also send messages to
landline phones that are NOT text
compatible. Messages to non-
compatible lines will be connected to
voice text and delivered in spoken
words to the telephone as a call.
Please note that the conversion can
translate common abbreviations and
smileys etc, but to ensure maximum
clarity of message delivery,
abbreviations etc should be used
sparingly.
At any time, press Back to go back to
the previous screen, or press to
cancel and return to standby.
