I've experimented with sending text to a phone display... it's a bit hit & 
miss... and of-course not all phone have textual displays, and some 
require you to hit a key to display the text. I experimented with it in 
speed-dial programming - trying to echo te number back to the display. 
Worked a treat on GXP2000's (untile you got more than one message), but on 
the Snom 300 it just seemed "fiddly" to get the message on the display.
