Send SMS from Isatphone
In general, we do not recommend this service. Even if the Isatphone signals to you a successfully sent SMS, it will unfortunately not arrive due to a lack of contractual agreements.
We recommend sending text messages as emails:
You can write an e-mail via the “Messaging”> “New Message” menu. In the case of an e-mail, an e-mail address must be entered in the address field (accessible via the up button). After composing the message, go to “Options”> “Send”.
NOTE: the subject line will not be sent and may therefore remain blank!
In the menu “Messaging”> “Options”> “Settings”> “Text msg. Settings”> “Use same message center” setting “YES” is mandatory. (Default setting ) -
