Replying via SMS

Read your mobile manual for specific instructions on replying to SMS messages on your particular phone.

On most phones, select Reply from the menu (the long number that automatically appears is correct - do not remove this number), enter your message using the alphanumeric keypad, and select Send.

An SMS capable phone is required in order to reply to messages.

Your reply will be sent back to the sender's email address or mobile number.

There are some key SMS Commands that you can use when replying to a message.
In addition to replying with 'M[number]' for more message parts, you can reply with 'BL' to a message and this will BLOCK the sender from delivering anymore messages to your handset. This block can be removed by editing your rules on the Bulletin Mail website.
See the SMS Commands section for other options.

Replying via WAP

If you have configured your user options via the Bulletin Mail website to support WAP content and forward messages to your phone, you will receive a SMS that contains a URL. By opening this URL on your phone (methods differ phone to phone so see your handset user guide) the message will be displayed in your phone browser.

With the message open you can select 'Reply' and compose your message. This reply will be routed back to the message sender and also logged in the Bulletin Mail message logs.

WAP Authentication

Before viewing or replying to your messages via the WAP interface, you must first "login" to the WAP site by supplying your password and a time out period. Full access to the site is granted for the chosen period.

The default time out period gives full access for an hour, by after the time out period has expired, you are only prompted for your password when accessing the message and contact lists, or options; you are not prompted when viewing or replying to messages.
