SMS Settings Help

The SMS Settings are used to configure the SMS parameters that will allow Quadro to send the voice mail notifications or event notifications via SMS to the extension user's mobile phone. Every extension user can enable voice mail notifications when a new voice mail is received and they can to define their own mobile numbers from the Voice Mail Settings or to set the certain Events notification to be delivered per SMS. However, for Quadro to deliver SMS notifications, the SMS service should be enabled and SMS settings should be configured from this page.
