Himanshu Singh 19 Report post Posted January 18, 2010 Nokia 1600 has sms timer.The handset sends the sms at the time decided by the user. How is it any different frm that? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
raccoon 53 Report post Posted January 18, 2010 It is different in that the feature you are talking about is handset dependent. So if you go out of coverage area, or of the network is down or your phone is switched off, you SMS will not get sent. Whereas Airtel is offering this as a network feature. In fact I remember using this facility when I was on RCDMA and LG RD2030. It had the funtion of selecting from a predetermined list of hours when the SMS should be sent. But it was a network feature. I used the feature a lot and still do, with my GSM Nokia. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
