In order for Modica to set up your new Email2SMS service we need the following key information;
Questions | Answers | |
|---|---|---|
| 1 | What is your Email address? | e.g. bob@abc.com |
| 2 | What is your Email Domain name? (i.e. everything to the right of the '@' in your email address) | e.g. abc.com |
| 3 | Does your Domain name have an SPF record? We can check this for you or you can use a tool like this | Yes/No If Yes go to 5 |
| 4 | If No do you have 5 or less servers that you send email from? If you send email from more than 5 servers you will need an SPF record added to your domain. You can find more info about SPF and details for you to pass to your technical team about is here. | List up to 5 server IPs or hostnames; |
5) You need to decide what email address you will send your email2sms messages to. There are basically two choices;

| Notes | ||
|---|---|---|
| 6 | Do you want to further secure the service to a list of allowed senders within your organisation? | If you have a large list of senders you can put them into a csv file and easily upload them via our portal. |
| 7 | What countries do you want to send to? | Some countries may be push (outbound) only. |
| 8 | How many messages are you expecting to send each month? | High Volumes may effect per message pricing. |
| 9 | Do you want to send long messages? Email2SMS messages are limited to 160 characters by default, i.e. a single SMS message, but you can send longer messages, with each additional 153 characters using another SMS message. (Note: a 300 character Email2sms message will cost the same as two 160 character Email2sms messages.) Long messages will be displayed on smart phones as a single long message or, on older phones, as several SMS's labelled with 1/3 2/3 and 3/3 for instance. | Caution: If you enable longer messages Email2sms will forward every character in the email including Subject, Body, Signature and Email trail until the allowed characters have been exhausted. |
| 10 | Would you like to enable multimedia messages (MMS) for incoming messages? This will allow you to receive images and other multimedia that are included in an SMS sent to your domain. | MMS may not be available in all regions. |
