THE BASICS

Once logged into the system the user will see the main page on the left. This pageis devided into 2 sections, the SMS sending mechanism and your outbox. The outbox shows any sms`s currently in the que waiting to go out to the recipient. This grid also has a refresh button at the top for the user to refresh the outbox whenever they like to see the sms`s going out.

SENDING YOUR FIRST SMS

The other grid is for setting up and sending your sms messages to a group, contact or any SA cellphone number. Simply select your group or contact out of the dropdowns or alternatively type in a cellphone number in the space provided. Then, type in your SMS message into the box (max 160 chars minus your from footer) and then click on the Send SMS button to send to your chosen recipients, its as easy as that. You will see your messages moving into your outbox. Once the message has been sent successfully it will be removed from the outbox once you refresh it. If you are a credit based client your credits remaining will show on this grid as well. You can also topup your account when credits are reached.

PHONEBOOK

On this screen you will once again see a split table, one being your groups, one being your contacts within your group. When starting up it is important to add your first group by clicking on the Add Group link at the top of the group grid. You can set up as many groups as you like and add the same contacts to different groups. You must have a group set up before you can add contacts. These groups are then available for you to select on the first page when sending a sms.

To add contacts to your groups simply click on the Add Contact button on the right grid. This will bring up a popup for you to add the contact details, ie. Name, Cellphone Number and the Group you want to add the contact into. Simply click on Add Contact in the popup window to add a contact to your selected group. These contacts are then available individualy when sending a sms so you dont have to type in the number every time. It also shows on your sms reports if the number is found in your phonebook. There is no limit to how many contacts you can add.

REPORTS

The report screen shows you all sms`s sent from the system broken up by month. You will see the month, the number of sms`s sent and also a link to view all these sent sms`s as well as who the recipients for thos messages were. This section sole purpose is for you, the user, to keep track of all your communications to the clients.

It also allows you to edit your personal details simply by changing the existing details and clicking on Update Details. It also allows you to change your login details should you wish to.
