​
SEND AN SMS
​
Click on the SEND SMS page
​
Origin
​
Starting from the top of the page, you'll see the ORIGINS drop down box.
​
This is what the message will appear to come from when the SMS hits the phone.
​
There are 3 options in Australia:
-
Your mobile number - We can make the message come from your mobile number and replies go back to your phone
-
Our virtual mobile number - Messages can come from one of our numbers and replies are routed back to you as an email.
-
A word (alpha) origin - you get up to 11 characters - replies are not possible with word origins.
​​
Depending on how we have set up your account, there will be one or more of these options to choose from.
If you need any additional options added, contact us.
To request a new word origin, go here.
​
Select the origin you want the message to come from.

​
Here you can type or paste in any amount of numbers that you want to send to.
Either comma separated or on a new line.
It’s ok if the leading zero (0) is missing thanks to copying from excel.

We will remove duplicates automatically and you wont be billed for them.

You can also search by mobile number - enter the recipient's mobile number (in international format without the + sign) to see all messages that were sent to them for a given period.
OPT OUTS
If you send marketing messages, you will have people that opt out.
Above we mentioned about selecting the opt out template so that our opt out number is in the message you send.
If anyone replies to this number, they are automatically opted out and they will appear on this page.
The 'source' will say 'originator' if they opted out via this method.
​
If someone contacts you directly asking to be opted out, go to the OPT OUTS page, enter their number/s in the OPT OUTS box and click ADD NUMBERS.
Numbers added manually will have the 'source' of 'client' so you know that you unsubscribed them personally.
To opt someone back in (re-subscribe) select their number from the list on the page and click the DELETE button.
STATS
The STATS page shows a count of all messages sent and queued this month.
If you have child accounts, it will show their stats as well.
You can select a date range to see the number of messages sent for that period.
TRACE
Here you can see the full message log for a mobile number.
It shows all messages sent and received for that number as well as the delivery status and the status of their reply (ie if they replied and if your software has retrieved the message from our servers or if our email service has sent it to you)
Be sure to enter the mobile number in international format without the + sign. eg 61400123456
REPLIES - SMS TO EMAIL
If we have set up SMS-to-Email, then any SMS replies will be forwarded to your email address.
We can send to multiple email addresses if required.
The email will show the message that they sent you as well as the last message that you sent them so you can keep a track of the conversation.
EMAIL TO SMS - Sending an SMS from your email
If you receive an SMS-to-email from us, you can reply to it by clicking the reply button on your email program or the 'Reply to this message' link in the email.
​
IMPORTANT
Always start with a blank email first as whatever is in the body of the email will go as an SMS and you will be charged accordingly.
This includes your signature and any disclaimers etc.
​
You can send an Email-to-SMS from scratch if you know our special email address to send to.
Contact us and we will give you this info.
​
We can set this up so that you can type your message in the body of the email or if preferred you can type in the subject of the email. Contact us to make any changes to this configuration
