front of the field “phone”?**
|
||||||
|

front of the field “phone”?**
|

|

||||||
Only if that phone number supports SMS (e.g. SIP phones).
|
#. | **What happens if I send multiple SMSs at once, but I don't have enough credits to send them
|
||||||
|
all?**
|
||||||
|
| Multiple SMS communications at once at are counted as a single transaction, so no SMSs will be
|
||||||
|
sent until there are enough credits to send them all.
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
#. | **Do I have a history of the sent SMSs?**
|
||||||
|
| A history of sent SMSs, along with all pertinent information related to its sent contacts (and
|
||||||
|
the message itself), can be found in the :guilabel:`Sent` column of the main :guilabel:`SMS
|
||||||
|
Marketing` dashboard (while in :guilabel:`Kanban` view).
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
#. **Do I receive an invoice to buy my credits?**
|
For more detailed information, select a desired SMS from the main dashboard (in
|
||||||
|

|
||||||
|

||||||
|
#. | **If an SMS is sent to a number that doesn't exist in the list of recipients, will credits be
|
||||||
|
lost?**
|
||||||
|
| No, not if the phone number is incorrectly formatted (e.g. too many digits). However, if the
|
||||||
|
SMS is sent to the wrong person (or to a fake number), the credit for that SMS will be lost.
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
#. **Can the recipient answer to me?**
|
#. | **What happens if I send my SMS to a paying number (e.g.: a contest to win a ticket for a
|
||||||
|
festival)?**
|
||||||
|
| The SMS will not be delivered to that kind of number, so no charges will be made.
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
No, it is not possible to reply to the SMS.
|
#. | **Can I identify the numbers that do not exist when I send several SMSs?**
|

||||||
The whole transaction is counted as a single one, so no SMS will be sent until you have enough

|
||||||
history of the SMSs sent is available on :ref:`developer mode <developer-mode>` under
