Message
The body of the email will be used as the content of the SMS. It is generally best to keep the message content short and straight to the point to save cost and ensure delivery. You can set the maximum allowed pages of SMS on the Email-to-SMS settings page. The maximum allowed is four (4).

The routing option can be specified on the Email-to-SMS settings page. The specified routing will automatically be used by all outgoing Email-to-SMS messages.

If you would like to use other email addresses to send SMS using the Email-to-SMS feature, you can specify this on the Email-to-SMS settings page.
The email to SMS feature is a game-changer. Your transactional, promotional, and marketing communication be delivered to your customers/clients without the hassle of exporting data. We would love to see you send your first Email-to-SMS.
