More Information
Summary:The radioterminal comprises: message receiving means for receiving (in an initial programming mode 410) a short message service message (SMS) including a command and a sequence of digits forming at least a partial telephone number and storage means 132 for storing the sequence of digits in response to the command. The terminal has user input means 134, 135, 136 and dialling means for dialling in response to user input (in an operational mode 420), an outbound telephone number including the sequence of digits. The arrangement has the advantage that it allows an operator (e.g. supermarket) to deploy a plurality of fixed cellular terminals (radioterminals) across a wide area, and to program each terminal to make calls within pre-set limits, for example, to end terminals within the geographical area of the fixed cellular terminal.
