Sending SMS over the fixed network

Sending SMS over the fixed network

With an SMS-enabled fixed network telephone you can send SMS throughout the entire Swisscom mobile network, to most other mobile networks and all fixed network connections in Switzerland. As soon as you send the first SMS you will also be registered to receive them.


Requirements

  • You require an SMS-enabled fixed network telephone (look for the key with the letter symbol or check the user manual).
  • Your fixed network telephone must be configured to send SMS (this is the case for more recent Swisscom fixed network telephones).

Configuring an older telephone for SMS

  1. Select “SMS Exchange” under “Settings” in your telephone menu.
  2. Dial 062 210 00 00. Refer to the user manual if necessary.
  3. Test your telephone by sending an SMS (e.g. to your mobile phone).
  4. If you do not receive the SMS, change the number of the SMS exchange. Try the following numbers one after the other and check if sending works after each attempt:
    062 210 00
    062 210 00 0
    062 210 00 0*  

Sending an SMS

Typing and sending SMS varies according to the fixed network telephone model you are using. Refer to your device’s user manual.


Sending an SMS to telephones that are not SMS-enabled

If you are sending an SMS to a fixed network telephone which is not SMS-enabled or has not been configured, a computer voice will read the message out to the recipient.

Information for owners of a telephone system (TVA)

If you operate your telephone within a telephone system (TVA), you may have to program an additional 0 in front of the SMS exchange main number (0062 210 00 00) If this does not work, ask your specialist dealer or TVA installer.
