'''SMS 1''' / '''SMS 2''' : New booking alerts can be sent to two mobile (cell) phones. You may specify whether '''all''' new bookings ''or'' only new bookings where the guest will arrive very soon are notified via SMS.
SMS messages are sent via a commercial messaging service and incur a charge of 20c per message sent(go to SETTINGS -> ACCOUNT -> BILLING to see your fees). If the balance of your account falls below zero, SMS messaging will be automatically disabled until you bring your account back into credit. Bookings entered at the online booking page and imported by the synchroniser will be notified by SMS if they are arriving within the specified time frame. Bookings entered manually into the system while you are signed-in will not be notified via SMS message.
'''Send SMS 1 ''' / '''Send SMS 2 ''' Change this to the time window for the SMS (Today, within 1 day, within 2 day...)
'''SMS 1 to Phone Number''' / '''SMS 2 to Phone Number''': This is the phone number that will receive the SMS notification.<br />
This is a global service and the notifications can be sent to almost any phone in any country. The phone number must contain the full international country code and phone number as it would be dialled dialed internationally but without any leading zeros or other characters (for the international access dialling dialing code such as 00) and use no spaces between the digits. The number must start with the country code. SMS notifications incur a usage charge per message sent even if the message is not received because the number is incorrectly entered or the booking is false or later cancelled.Please make sure the number(s) is correct and capable of receiving SMS messages if you use this service.
'''SMS Text''': This is the text to send in the SMS message. Template variables may be used to include information from the booking. Remember that SMS messages are limited to 160 characters and will be truncated if they are longer than this.
