Sending Text Messages in ManagePro
Sending a text message in ManagePro is accomplished by entering the recipient’s phone number and the SMS gateway provided by their wireless service provider. NOTE: The number must contain no punctuation. For instance, to send to a number typically expressed in the USA as 987-555-0100, you would email 9875550100@SMS-gateway.
