Before you send your SMS, consider these steps to boost the chances of successful delivery:
- Mobile Numbers - Ask your data controller to add mobile numbers to your data file.
- Updating Numbers - The MSL System won't automatically refresh mobile numbers after import. If you want us to update existing records, contact support@ukmsl.com.
- Opt-In - Provided that your institution permits it in their data protection policy or similar, opt in all members of your organisation to receive text messages
- Credits - Ensure you have enough SMS credits allocated to your MSL System. If you're running low, contact support@ukmsl.com. For further information, see How to Check the Overall SMS Credit Balance.
- Credit Allocation - Distribute those available credits to the organisation you are sending the SMS from. For further information, see How to Update the Balance for an Organisation SMS Profile.
- Sender Check - Double-check your organisation's SMS profile to ensure the sender details are correct. For further information, see How to Edit an Organisation SMS Profile.
- Test - Give it a trial run. Send a test SMS to yourself to confirm it's delivered successfully and that you're happy with the content. For further information, see How to Send an SMS.
