GSM provides a Short Message Service (SMS) that enables you to send and receive short text messages of up to 160 characters to and from other GSM cell phones. This service is supported by most GSM handsets and most GSM networks worldwide.

In order to send SMS text messages it is necessary that you have a "Message centre number" stored into your SIM card. Mobal have already stored this number in for you, however in case you accidentally delete it, the number is +447802000332.

Please refer to your phone's user guide for details of how to send and receive text messages, and how to store your message centre number.
