If the message is longer than 30 characters the text is truncated in the table but if you click on the green eye icon you can see the full message.

Sending SMS

WARNING
You need enough balance with your carrier to be able to send SMS (sometimes even receive them)

Sending SMS can be done by clicking on the New SMS button and filling out the form.

The system used underneath is asterisk, so sometimes even if asterisk considers the SMS to be sent, your provider might have dropped it without giving a notice, in that case the device will still consider the SMS sent but in actuality it would’ve never been sent.

You can also use the API to send and receive SMS.
