New SMS...

This menu option also brings up the New MobiSMS Message window. Again, choose your recipients, write your SMS and click Send to despatch an SMS.

New SMS Reminder...

This menu option brings up the MobiSMS reminder window. This is a quick way to send yourself a reminder to your mobile phone. Just specify the date, the time and click Send when you are finished writing the SMS.

Reply via SMS

This menu option also brings up the New MobiSMS Message window. To use it, you must select a mail message in the e-mail application by clicking and highlighting it and then click on Reply via SMS on the MobiSMS menu.

Once the Reply via SMS option has been selected the SMS composition window opens, with the content from the mail that you selected in the body field. The ‘To:’ field is automatically completed (being the person that sent you the mail you replied to). Again you choose additional recipients or change them as needed. Finally, you can change the content of your SMS as needed and click Send when you are finished writing the SMS.

View Message Reports...

This menu option allows you view a history of messages sent, their status, and the remaining credits in your account.

Check for latest upgrade

MobiSMS will occasionally release a new version with new features. If you would like to check whether you are using the latest version, click this menu option. Our web page will show you the latest version number of MobiSMS and how to obtain an upgrade.

Options...

This menu option displays a tabbed window with three options to control your default SMS message preferences.

The first option to consider is how you would like to be notified of your SMS deliveries.

• Do not notify me at all
Use this option if you do not wish to be notified about deliveries

• Notify me on all deliveries:
Use this option if you wish to be notified of both successful and
failed message deliveries.

• Notify me on failed deliveries:
Use this option if you only wish to be notified about failed
message deliveries.


The second option is how you would like to be notified about your long message deliveries (messages that exceed 160 characters).

• Successful Long SMS delivery:
This allows you to control the manner in which you will be notified
about the successful delivery of a long message (an SMS which
has been split into multiple parts). You can choose whether to be
notified as each part (split of the SMS) is delivered or once the
complete message (all the splits) have been delivered.


The third option relates to network receipting.

• Notify me when the message:
Either reaches the phone or reaches the recipient's mobile network.
(Note: Not all mobile networks provide phone handset receipting.)


The final option determines your delivery routing.

• Route:
Allows you to specify how you would like your delivery notifications
to be received. (Note: Restricted to e-mail only in this release)

This preference controls whether you would like to be reminded about your appointments via SMS. If you check this option, you will be reminded by SMS for your Calendar entries, Schedules, Tasks and Appointments.

• Reply Route
This option allows you to select whether you would like your SMS
message replies to be received on your phone handset, routed to
your e-mail or simultaneously sent to your phone and e-mail.

• Signature
Any text entered in this box will automatically appear as part of a
new SMS message. This might be a signature, a standard
message or your contact details.

• CC E-mail
When marked, this sends a copy of your SMS message
to the intended recipient's e-mail address. Alternatively, check the
box to SMS a copy of your name and email subject matter to the
recipients' mobile.


Inbox Rules...

This option allows you to define a series of 'Inbox rules' to automatically send an SMS message. The MobiSMS rule manager scans the content of your incoming e-mail and if your criteria is matched, will trigger the despatch of an SMS.


Template Editor...

The Template editor can be used to create a standardised template for your SMS messages. This form editor allows you to create specialised fields and selection menus for the sending of standardised SMS messages.


Sync Reminders to Server

MobiSMS includes a powerful SMS reminder function that is synchronised with your Outlook Calendar. By entering and saving a calendar reminder, an appointment or a task, you can elect to have MobiSMS send you an SMS reminder.
