A long while ago I bought a Philips Onis 300, thinking SMS would be a good thing. After much hassle I got it to work through a service provider called Bizzyline, but it was rubbish. I see that BT now offer their own service, but only give instructions for their own phones. I have got the Onis working with some BT service numbers, but can only receive messages as voice, which is still rubbish. Does anyone out there know how to receive text via BT on an ONIS 300?
