      There are several reasons why you might be unable to send messages: * The CLIP service (Calling Line Identification Presentation) may not be enabled. Ask your service provider to enable this service. * SMS transmission might have been interrupted. Try re-sending the SMS. * The SMS centre number may be incorrect or missing. Enter the correct number for the SMS centre.

      If you've stopped receiving SMS messages, it could be due to a few reasons: 1. You might have changed the ID of your mailbox. Give your SMS contacts your new ID or undo the change. 2. Your mailbox may not be activated. Activate your mailbox. 3. Call divert settings may be interfering. Change the call divert settings, especially if set to 'Immediately' for the network mailbox.

      If you are only receiving messages during the day, it may be because the terminal is recorded in your SMS provider's database as having no fixed line network SMS functionality. Send any SMS to automatically register your telephone to receive SMS, or obtain information from your fixed line network SMS service provider.

      If the SMS is played back, possible causes include: * The 'display call number' feature is not activated. Ask your service provider to activate this function (chargeable). * There is no agreement between your mobile phone operator and your fixed line network SMS service provider. Obtain information from your fixed line network SMS service provider. * Your terminal has been recorded by your SMS provider as having no fixed line network SMS functionality. Send any SMS to automatically register your telephone to receive SMS.
