Configuring SMS settings

To send SMS asset notifications to cell phones, you must set up the mobile phone carriers to receive the messages.

Before you begin

You can find most SMS email extensions by typing this query into a search engine on the internet: carrier email extension, where carrier is the name of the mobile phone service provider. If you are unable to find a specific email extension by a search, you can contact the mobile phone provider to obtain the SMS email extensions. These email extensions are provided by the carrier and cannot be customized.

Remember: If a mobile phone carrier does not support the SMS email extension format, SMS notifications cannot be sent to the users who have chosen to use that mobile phone carrier.
