How to Send an SMS

You can access this feature from your MSL website. Only Organisation Admins with permissions to send messages can access the Send SMS window.


MSL recommends checking the Send SMS and How to Set Up SMS support pages before sending an SMS.


MSL recommends conducting a test of your SMS by sending a single message to yourself before sending it to all recipients. Before sending the messages in bulk, please contact support@ukmsl.com. MSL will monitor the sending process.


Before proceeding, SMS does not support the user of placeholders for the recipient's name.


At present, MSL cannot support emojis via SMS, primarily due to financial considerations. If you require sending an SMS that includes an emoji, contact support@ukmsl.com. MSL will provide information regarding any alternative options and associated additional costs.


For further information, see Send SMS.
