An SMS can be sent to a student only if the following conditions are met:
-
On the SMS Settings page, the Send SMS to Students checkbox is selected.
-
In the student’s profile, the Enable SMS Features checkbox is selected and the profile has the student’s registered mobile number.
- At the top of your dashboard, click the module access icon > Administration > Settings > SMS module > Send SMS to Students to open the Students page.
- Select a batch. All students from the selected batch are listed.
Note : If a student’s profile does not have the mobile number of the student or the guardian, the student name will be greyed out and cannot be selected.
- Select the student(s) to who you want to send the SMS text messages.
- Enter the message. You can send up to 160 characters in a message and this will be counted/charged as one message. If the message contains more than 160 characters, the message is broken and delivered as separate messages, and you will be charged accordingly.
- Click the Send SMS button.
