The table below shows the basic format of a DSX email notification delivered to a cell phone as an SMS Text Message. The information is much the same as that delivered to an email account. There may be more than one text message for each notification, depending on the number of characters the provider allows in each text message (typically 120-160 characters). SMS will not send the wav file attachment, even if enabled in DSX system programming.
Important |
An extension set up for notification via SMS Text Messaging should have the Message as Attachment option disabled in system programming. Attempting to deliver a wav file attachment to an SMS messaging service may have undesirable results. |
The following table a typical SMS Text Message when the DSX is set up to provide email notification only (no wav file of the actual message). In this case, the provider divided the message into two parts: one for the message header and one for the message body. This is only an example - your provider may handle similar content differently.
