Short Message Service (SMS)

SMS enables you to send and receive written messages with your mobile phone. Most commonly, SMSes are composed using the letters and numbers on your keypad and viewed on your mobile phone display.  
All KOREK subscribers can use SMS. 
KOREK subscribers can also send messages abroad, however, the message recipient abroad must either be on a compatible GSM network or a network that has signed a roaming agreement with KOREK (if the recipient is a KOREK subscriber).
