You, as the account holder, pay for failed messages, that is; messages that were not delivered to a contact in your database. There are two reasons for this: • The networks charge us for all submissions regardless of the status. • We expend more resources in handling failed messages as we re-try sending these messages to the network before reporting it as a failed message.

In order to send SMS messages from your account, you will need to select the route that best suits your needs, register, purchase SMS credits and upload or add your contacts to your chosen platform.

We need your mobile number in order to send you an alert. We may also need to contact you for Support reasons, for example, if you forget your password and need an SMS reminder, or if you have set up SMS notifications for low credit warnings and if we need to follow up on complaints relating to your use of the service.

If you have lost your username and password, you can easily recover both by clicking “forgot password” on the login page and entering your username. You will be asked whether you would like your password recovery message to be sent to your email address or mobile phone number. For email recovery, you will need to click on the link in the email received and update your password. For SMS recovery, you will simply need to enter the password recovery code that was sent to your mobile phone. Please note that this will only work if you have registered with a valid email address.

This is true for our Web to SMS platform, as well as our SMS API. The message gets split into 6 parts when you send it, but when it arrives at the mobile phone it will appear as a single SMS message. The technical term for this process is concatenated SMS where a multi-part message with more than 160 characters is received as a single message on a mobile phone.
