There is no cost to download or use the FSFSMS Text software. You only pay for the SMS messages you want to send and not for the software

Yes we do. These are stored for 90 days only on the FSFSMS Web to SMS platform. If however, you are using the FSFSMS Text Software, you will be able to see your delivery report for as long as you keep the sent SMS message in your Sent items box.

A delivery report will indicate the status of a sent message, for example: Delivered to Mobile, Delivered Upstream or Failed.

Delivered upstream means that the message you have sent has been submitted to a network but no status report has yet been received from the mobile network.

This means that we cannot ascertain why the mobile network has not yet been able to deliver the message to the mobile phone number and it could be any one of the following:

• Status reports can sometimes be delayed
• This particular network does not support status reports
• The mobile phone is switched off
• The recipients SMS message Inbox is full
• Poor network coverage
• Mobile phone is roaming
• Invalid mobile phone number

The status could change at a later stage from 'Delivered Upstream' to either 'Delivered To Mobile' or 'Failed'.

Yes you can. For SMS messages, the Sender ID will be the name of the sender you have saved in your contact list.

Please note that Sender ID is not available in South Africa or the United States of America due to the policy of the mobile network providers.

Yes, you can send SMS messages using Unicode for non-English characters (such as Arabic, Chinese or Cyrillic characters).
