More characters for SMS's
At present SMS correspondence is restricted to 160 characters, per SMS, we struggle to fit lock box and property info into a 160 characters message.
if you exceed 160 characters the message is sent via multiple messages, which can be confusing for the guest.
Thank you for your suggestion on a way we can improve RMS.
The 160 characters per charged SMS is a GSM standard used by all service providers and not a limitation implemented by RMS.
RMS 9+ has the ability to create SMS templates that will extend beyond the single message of 160 characters with a counter in the bottom right for users to keep track of their character count.
The delivery of multi-part SMS is determined by the service provider and mobile device and may result in several messages when going over 160 characters.
We appreciate your valuable feedback and look forward to introducing exciting new features from our user suggestions in the coming months.
Kind Regards,
RMS Product Development
