Do you ever want to use the WEB to send SMS messages?

It's easy to send WEB SMS. In other words, you can send text messages to ANY PHONE ON THE PLANET using this simple, Hotmail-like WEB SMS interface. You can create your quick-pick lists using the Speed Dial function, or send messages to many people at once. Please make sure that you accurately format the recipient's mobile phone number by composing it with an international country code, area code and local number.

To send a WEB SMS, simply log on to your account from ANY computer and follow the instructions below:

To

Valid telephone number of an SMS phone in international format. For example 16047778888 where 1 represents country, 604 are code, and 7778888 local telephone number. For more than one recipient use "," - commas.

NEVER include leading zeros in telephone numbers when you want to send SMS! Also, NEVER include exit codes - for example the exit code from North America is 011 - DO NOT INCLUDE IT.

You can also click on the "To" hyper link to open your contacts list. You can then pick recipients that have mobile numbers defined.

Split text into

This value indicates how long messages will be treated. Since the maximum length of one SMS message is 160 characters, messages longer than this can be split into multiple messages and sent separately.

Number of characters typed

Tells you how long your message is.

Number of credits

Tells you how many credits you have remaining in your pre-paid account.

CC to email

Specify your email account where a copy of your text message will be sent. This email address must be registered with your account.

Allow SMS replies

If you set this value to 'true' you allow recipients of your messages to reply to them. They must do so within 24 hours of receipt. Your account will be debited for each message you receive.

Number of credits

Tells you how many credits you have remaining in your pre-paid account.

Send

Allows you to send SMS with delay. Great if you are sending SMS messages to someone overseas and do not want to wake him up :-).

Click "Send Message" on this WEB page and your SMS message (s) will be on its way. The system will first check if you have enough credits left in your accounts. For example, if you want to send SMS text message to three recipients and you have only one credit left, only the first recipient will receive it.
