Sending an SMS message to the terminal
You can send an SMS message to the terminal e.g. from a mobile phone, using one of the
mobile numbers for the terminal. Dial
+ <Mobile number>
The first part of the mobile number is always 870, which is the “country code” for the BGAN
system. If the mobile numbers are listed in the web interface, you can look them up as follows:
Select PHONE BOOK > Mobile numbers. If the mobile numbers are not listed in the web
interface, refer to the documents provided with your airtime subscription.
Receiving a message
If a message has arrived, the icon bar at the top of the web interface shows an unopened
envelope. Click the envelope to see the new message(s).
Otherwise, to see new messages click MESSAGES from the left navigation pane.
The page shows new incoming messages.
If the message is not an SMS message but information of voice mail, call your Voice mail
service number to hear the Voice mail. The Voice mail service number is normally listed in the
SMS message.
You may also find the Voice mail service number under MESSAGES > Message settings.
Note that the voice mail number is only shown here if it is available on the SIM card. Otherwise,
refer to the information included with your Airtime subscription.
Options for new SMS messages
To see new messages, click MESSAGES from the left navigation pane.
Besides viewing the new messages, you have a number of options for what to do with each
message:
•Click Archive to move it to your Inbox containing read messages.
•Click Reply to reply to a message.
Then type in your reply and click Send.
For information on how to include the original message in your reply, see Setting up the
default message options on page 63.
•Click Forward to forward a message to someone.
Then type in the phone number in the Recipient field and click Send.
• If you want to move all the new messages, click Move all new messages to Inbox.
There are two Voice numbers, one for 3.1 kHz Audio and one for Standard Voice.
The terminal does not accept more than 100 incoming messages (including read and
unread messages). If you have received 100 messages, you must delete some of them
in order to free space for new messages. Otherwise, the new messages are rejected.
New messages cannot be deleted until they have been moved to the Inbox.
