Good to know
- Every SMS starts with the name of the shop and a colon, and that is counted in the length.
- Every 160 characters count as one SMS for each number, and a Bangla text uses up the balance faster. When the balance is not enough the SMS is refused.
- A shop with its own SMS Integration can go on sending through the Active provider of SMS Providers when the balance runs out.
- At least one phone number is needed. SMS are sent in the background.
