Form changelogs, you can see:

Firmware Update 04/2009 Version V02184:
---------------------------------------
New features:
================

- E-mail viewer (with C47H, S45, S67H, S68H handsets)
- Mute function. Turn off the handset's microphone during an external
call with the left display key.
- Send and receive SMS messages via VoIP*
<snip>
* provider-dependent


The bad thing is the way to use this new SMS-VOIP handling capability is not
much documented.
