Radio equipment for transmission and reception of short messages.

摘要

Radio terminals for a radiopaging system enable only the reception of short messages. These known radiopaging receivers cannot be used for applications which require bidirectional transmission and reception of only short messages. Some mobile telephones which are operated in the known GSM network and which use the actual telephone service have the facility for transmitting short messages. A Short Message Service (SMS) is specified in the GSM network. The radio terminal according to the invention is designed in such a way that it is only suitable for the transmission and reception of short messages in accordance with the GSM standard. Speech transmission is not possible.
