HandPHONE SMS

2. Assign message options accordingly:

Validity period

Specifies the maximum length of time for which your
message will be allowed to sit at your carrier’s
message center before being deleted (in case the
recipient’s mobile phone never picks it up).

Message type

Here you may choose between SMS, Fax, or E-
mail. In most cases, you should leave this on the
default SMS, unless your service provider explicitly
supports e-mail and fax services.

Status report...

Indicates to the service center that you should
receive notification on the status of your message.
Status reports are sent from the message center to
your mobile phone, and are not downloaded to your
Palm

handheld.

Service center...

Enter the service center (SMS-C) telephone number
given to by your network carrier. The Get button
retrieves the current SMS-C from your phone. Set
allows you to copy an SMS-C number to your
phone.

Note

With some early model GSM phones it is important to
enter the SMS service center number in this field, and to
place a check in the box Always set before sending.

You may either configure these options for all subsequent messages (

before

creating any outgoing messages), or specifically for a single message (i.e. by
editing message Details

after you have created it).
