Receiving e-mail
Setting Maximum Number of SMS per e-mail

SMS allows messages of up to 160 characters (1 Short Message) to be sent and received by GSM or PCN phones. AirmailTM allows you to set the number of Short Messages you can receive per Internet e-mail sent to your phone.
The default length is 1 Short Message, in which you will usually receive the sender's e-mail address, the message subject and part of the message text.
To receive longer e-mails you will have to change the message length to more than 1 Short Message to, for example, 3 Short messages.
To alter the number of Short Messages per e-mail, send a message to your Gateway Number with the following text:
EMAIL followed by the number of Short messages per e-mail

For example, to set your phone to receive up to 3 short messages per e-mail send the following message to your Gateway Number:
EMAIL 3

NOTE: Standard AirmailTM subscription allows for up to 10 Short messages per e-mail received from the Internet.
