In return this solution sends back an SMS with directions for the user in the following way:
Furthermore, users can send email on SMS is a feature that has great utility. It enables users to send email through SMS in the easiest possible way. To send an email user needs to send a message on 55444 in the format: email <email id of recipient><message> For example, email [email protected] let’s do some good work.
These two features come handy in areas with poor internet connectivity or no internet connectivity at all. The product works well with every phone.
