To create a new SMS , click on "New Message" under the SMS Messages heading.

- From Name- Insert the name you would like the SMS signed from.
- Message- Enter the message to be sent to users. Each credit covers up to 160 characters (maximum of 2 credits), including the 'From Name' if provided. The message below the field will show the estimated credit cost for your SMS.
Click Save.
Your SMS Campaign will now be listed on the SMS Campaign page.
Please note that some characters (e.g., Microsoft Word quotes, square brackets, etc.) count as two characters in SMS. The system will alert you if you’re using special characters or if you’re nearing the default credit-per-SMS limit (set to 2). It will then calculate how many credits your message will use.

next to the campaign name you wish to edit.

SENDING AN SMS
Once you have created the SMS , you can send the message by clicking the Send SMS icon

If you are working on a publicly accessible or imported list of subscribers, you will see a list of Subscribers to this Campaign. The SMS campaign is public if there's no associated module.

By default, all the Subscribers are checked to receive the message. If you wish to send the message to only certain Subscribers, uncheck the boxes for the Subscribers you do not wish to receive the message.
When the Subscribers you wish to receive the message are checked, click Review SMS.
This page will display the number of credits the message will cost and the remaining credits after sending. Click 'send immediately' to send the message.
