Because SMS messages cost money to send, we require that our customers purchase a 'SMS Plan' that meets their needs. The plans are all month-to-month and vary based on the country of origin. Requirements for the SMS Module: - Only MyPMS customers can subscribe to the SMS service.
- When the SMS Module is activated, a country will be required for all Guest's who have mobile numbers entered into a Booking (on the Booking Data tab). It is not required that a mobile number be provided for all bookings. But if one is provided, the Guest must have the country selected.
- BookingCenter assumes that the country of your property is the 'default' country code for your mobile phone numbers, if one is not selected.
SMS Module Pricing
Billing is based on a 'per segment' structure. Each segment is up to153 characters. How many segments make up a specific SMS 'message' is based on how many words you decide to include. When making 'SMS Letters' you should count the number of characters to be as brief - and use as few segments - as possible. For Example, If a Property writes a SMS Letter that is 154 to 306 characters, then it will be counted as 2 Segments, 307 to 460 characters = 3 segments, etc., and will be billed accordingly. |
