Format 4: Number(s) / Name(s) / Group(s) in To:-box or in Cc:-box

You can send a message to a pager or to a mobile phone if you type the recipient's identification in the To:-box or in the Cc:-box of the email.eCall only checks the sender's adress in this format.

Procedure:

1. First write down the recipient's identification (according to the option, see below) in the To:-box.
2. Write down the text in the text box.
3. Send the email.There are three options of recipient's identifications:

There are three variants of receiver IDs:

Option 1
Recipient's number e.g. +41791234567

Option 2
Name and forename of a person in the eCall adress book (e.g. John -> examplejohn)

Option 3
Name of a group in the eCall adress book (e.g. Tennis Club -> tennisclub)

Important:

• As an sender's adress the email must include an adress that you have registered in the list of allowed sender adresses in the personal settings.
• In the menu option 'Settings: Access via e-mail' the check box 'I allow messages to be sent via my eCall account by email' must be activated.
• You have to write the telephone number in the international format. Example for Switzerland: 0041 or +41

Note

• The capitalization of the recipient's identification doesn't matter.
• Write down the recipient's identification in this format <recipients-identification>@sms.eCall.ch in the To:-box and/or in the Cc:-box of the email as you usually do it with ordinary e-mail adresses.
• If there are more recipients: <recipients-identification 1>@sms.eCall.ch; <recipients-identification 2>@sms.eCall.ch; ...)
• The message being sent to the pager/the mobile phone is composed of the e-mail's subject box and the text box.
• The adress @msg.ecall.ch that has been valid so far keeps valid.
