Default SMS settings in SMS module
SMS module is preset to sends SMS to all countries from an anonymous number (system number). However, you can set up different sender types (text number, own number, anonymous number) for administrators and your customers when you click on SMS settings in the SMS tab. You can set each country its own sender type. (SMS prices for each sender types are vary per country. This kind of setting allows you to choose the combination that best fits your needs or is cost-effective.)
Country selection
Move the mouse over the SMS tab in the osCommerce main menu and choose SMS Settings.
From the dropdown menu select the country for which you wish to change the sender type and confirm by clicking on ADD / CHANGE SELECTED COUNTRY.
Sender type selection
Select sender type:
- TEXT NUMBER - the text you define will be displayed to the recipient instead of the phone number (max. 11 chars). I.e. SuperShop, mystore.com, etc.
- SYSTEM NUMBER - an anonymous number will be displayed to the recipient (unable to change).
- OWN NUMBER - the number you define will be displayed to the recipient (i.e. +44797565414). Verification is required to prevent phone number abuse.
Confirm by clicking on SAVE SMS SETTINGS.
