New message
Below you can read about the screenshot New message. Each field is explained and in-depth links are available for some descriptions.
Create new message
Let's start by looking at the new message sending screenshot. Below you can see the full screenshot of New message. The following explanation refers to this screen and the different elements in it.
Country code: Select the country code of the recipient. If you select from groups in the Address Book, this field is not used as each contact in the Address Book has its own country code. If you just want to enter a number in the recipient field, the country code must be correct. The system remembers the country code from time to time.
Phone number: Here you type the phone number. Without spaces, hyphens or anything else. You can also paste. For example, you can select many numbers from Excel and put them all in this field.
Message: Here you write the message itself. Below the message you can see how many characters you've typed, how many SMSes it will result in and how much it costs to send the message.
Using templates
It is possible to create templates in the system. Templates are standard messages that are stored in the system and can be selected when sending a message. For example, it could be "Remember your appointment tomorrow". You can then simply select the correct template and press send.
