You can have other details in the subject field, however the first word must be your password. If you are automatcially generating messages with the same subject each time and you want that to be your password we can set it for you. </p> http://www.mediaburst.co.uk/forum/topic/receiving-replies#post-741 Fri, 05 Feb 2010 13:48:31 +0000 Claire 741@http://www.mediaburst.co.uk/forum/ <p>If you are a Pay Monthly plan, we will allocate a unique virtual mobile number (also known as a long number) to your account which appears on the recipient’s handset when you send a message. This will enable them to reply and the inbound messages are forwarded onto your email address. </p> http://www.mediaburst.co.uk/forum/topic/sending-a-message#post-731 Fri, 05 Feb 2010 13:47:46 +0000 Claire 731@http://www.mediaburst.co.uk/forum/ <p>Enter the mobile number in the ‘To’ field followed by @sms.message-platform.com and put your password in the subject field. Write your message in the email body as normal.<br /> Using this method, only the first 160 characters of the message will be sent.<br /> As an option the message text can be enclosed between #STARTSMS# and #ENDSMS# tags, this can be used to prevent email signatures being sent with the SMS content.<br /> When using these optional tags, the message between the STARTSMS and ENDSMS tags is not shortened, and so messages over 160 characters will be rejected. </p> http://www.mediaburst.co.uk/forum/topic/receiving-replies#post-721 Fri, 05 Feb 2010 13:46:27 +0000 Julian 721@http://www.mediaburst.co.uk/forum/ <p>How do I receive inbound messages? </p> http://www.mediaburst.co.uk/forum/topic/password-in-subject-field#post-711 Fri, 05 Feb 2010 13:40:20 +0000 Karen 711@http://www.mediaburst.co.uk/forum/ <p>Do I have to include the password into the subject field? </p> http://www.mediaburst.co.uk/forum/topic/bulk-messages#post-701 Fri, 05 Feb 2010 13:39:35 +0000 Karen 701@http://www.mediaburst.co.uk/forum/ <p>Can I send bulk messages? </p> http://www.mediaburst.co.uk/forum/topic/long-messages#post-691 Fri, 05 Feb 2010 13:38:41 +0000 Mike 691@http://www.mediaburst.co.uk/forum/ <p>Can I send long messages? </p> http://www.mediaburst.co.uk/forum/topic/sending-a-message#post-681 Fri, 05 Feb 2010 13:38:00 +0000 Mike 681@http://www.mediaburst.co.uk/forum/ <p>How do I configure my email to send a message? </p> http://www.mediaburst.co.uk/forum/topic/concatenated-sms-1#post-161 Thu, 24 Dec 2009 10:35:18 +0000 John 161@http://www.mediaburst.co.uk/forum/ <p>The page you need to refer to is <a href="/api/sending-a-message/interfaces/e-mail/">here</a></p> <p>If sending to <em>number</em>@sms.message-platform.com without the tags #STARTSMS# and #ENDSMS#, then the message is truncated to 160 characters.</p> <p>If sending to <em>number</em>@sms.message-platform.com with the tags #STARTSMS# and #ENDSMS#, then the whole message between these tags is attempted. This will fail if the message is over 160 characters.</p> <p>To send concatenated messages up to 459 characters, you need to send to <em>number</em>@longsms.message-platform.com. </p> http://www.mediaburst.co.uk/forum/topic/concatenated-sms-1#post-141 Thu, 24 Dec 2009 09:09:38 +0000 Mark 141@http://www.mediaburst.co.uk/forum/ <p>What happens if you send over 160 characters in the email to SMS protocol, does it deliver the whole message or will it only take the first 160? </p>
