The SMS package details include the following:

  • Valid Till – Select the package validity date. When the date passes the validity date, messages cannot be sent. If a date is not provided, it will be considered as ‘Lifetime’ validity.

  • Character Limit – Enter the total number of characters that make up one message. If left blank, the character limit per message is taken as 160. In some cases, service providers may include a few characters of their own as part of the messages being sent, in such cases, specify the character limit accordingly.

If you enter a sender name and enable Sender name modification, the sender name can be changed when assigning the package to a school. If you disable Sender name modification, the sender name cannot be changed.
