SMS 1 / SMS 2 : New booking alerts can be sent to two mobile (cell) phones. You may specify whether all bookings or only shortly arriving new bookings are notified via SMS. SMS messages are sent via a commercial messaging service and incur a charge of 20c per message sent. 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.
