Author Message centre on K800i?
Gareth

2008-02-16, 7:33 am

I've received a few unsolicited SMS texts recently - from the same company -
but I can't find an option on the K800i to read message details which
include the message centre number. The option is easily available on Nokia
phones but I can't find message centre details (to make a complaint) on the
K800i.

Does anyone know if the K800i can display the message centre number details
for incoming SMS?

Knowing which message centre it came through will not help you make a
complaint.

Oh. I've always included the information in complaint reports and I thought
it would at least allow anyone who wanted to take the complaint seriously to
raise the issue with a service provider.

But there doesn't seem to be a way of displaying the message centre of an
incoming SMS on SE phones.

No they won't, from the TPS web-site:

The senders shortcode number will identify the culprit. Message centre
will depend on which mobile network was used to send the message I would
have thought.
