Please note that not all M.Data numbers are available. After M.Data 24 comes M.Data 30. You cannot navigate backwards, but the list starts from the beginning after M.Data 55 [depending on the firmware version of the device].

Set the value of M.Data 30 to 1 using the Ë/¬ buttons. This activates the GSM modem. The following entries in the M.Data list are called A and B and represent two telephone numbers.
A restriction to two telephone numbers ( M.Data 30 to 2 ) is only permitted in SMS mode.
