Send
messages directly to recipient's display or turn on the voicemail, fax,
and email indicators
NOTE:
 Requires Nokia Data SuiteTM
if used with Nokia 5100/6100 series phones.
Features:
PanuWorld FLASHMSG allows you
to send special short messages with your phone. You do not need the
computer after storing the useful templates in your SIM with the FLASHMSG.
The messages are able to be displayed directly on the recipient's display
(class 0 messages) or to turn different symbols on and off on the
recipient's display.
Class 0 "flash" short messages
Although the class 0 short messages have
not been used widely, this message type has been specified in the
GSM specifications for a long time. In Finland that message type was
found out after Sonera operator
started its expensive SMS service for sending these special messages in
summer 1999. The Class 0 short messages are called as "Flash
messages" by Sonera.
In most phones a "flash"
message is displayed on the display instantly (for example, no "1
message received" text will appear). Usually the receiver can scroll
the text and save it into the message memory. If the message is not saved
by the user, it will be automatically deleted when closing it. Some phones
does not display the sending time and sender's number at all, but there is
also phones that show them, so you cannot send anonymous messages this
way.
Nokia 5100/6100 series phones does not
support creating or editing class 0 messages, although they can be stored
in the SIM memory and displayed there. But there is a way to write and
send class 0 messages with your phone and normal SMS price:
- Prepare the phone by storing a
"class 0 template" into the SIM ie. run the PanuWorld
FLASHMSG and select message type '0' (a class 0 message template).
(For this step only you need to connect the phone to a PC with Nokia
Data SuiteTM drivers.)
- Set the message format to
"Email" in the message settings of the phone.
- Open the template message in the
outbox (it is a empty message) and select forward.
- Type your message to the "Email
address" prompt. Max. 50 characters are allowed by the phone,
but the message may still be cut by some networks.
- Enter recipient's number and go!
If you do not delete the template
message, you can send more class 0 messages just by repeating the steps
2...5. If you want to send longer class 0 messages, use the
AlertSMS® application with Nokia Data SuiteTM drivers (if
required by your phone).
Voicemail, fax, and email indicator
control messages
Many new phones supports the TP-UDH (User
Data Header) Message Waiting Information. A short message may contain a
header that informs about received special messages like voicemail, fax
messages, and email messages. Phones usually display the message and turn
on some kind of symbol. The symbols in Nokia 5100/6100 series GSM phones
are: o_o FAX e in the top of the display.
The indicators will disappear only after
receiving a message that tells the number of waiting messages to be zero.
The indicators will stay after phone reboot.
You can send the indicator control
messages to yourself or anybody after creating the messages with PanuWorld
FLASHMSG.
- Run PanuWorld FLASHMSG and decide the
message type to be created into your SMS memory. (For this step only
you need to connect the phone to a PC with Nokia Data SuiteTM
drivers.)
- The message type is selected with a
combination of letters: The letter V makes the message to turn on the
voicemail indicator, F the fax indicator, and E the email indicator. Lower
case letters makes the message to remove corresponding indicators.
- Open the template message in the
outbox (the message contains a text describing it's functions) and
select forward.
- Enter recipient's number and go!
