Why can't I send SMS messages on my Gigaset DL500a?
- J
  Joshua ButlerJul 26, 2025
  There are several reasons why you might be unable to send messages: * You may not have requested or enabled the Calling Line Identification Presentation (CLIP) feature. In this case, ask your service provider to enable this service. * The SMS transmission might have been interrupted. If so, re-send the SMS. * You may need to enter the number.
