As customers should already know, the objective of the Email-to-SMS facility is to provide the fastest & easiest way of submitting messages using nothing other than an email client such as MS Outlook.

This simplicity was previously achieved by defining all mandatory values in the body of the email message using a simple/non-technical lay-out, e.g:

From - OurCompany
To - 4479562**236, 447951292**1
Msg - Don't forget our appointment on Friday at 5pm.
Route - Business

In addition to the default country code, this simplicity has now been enhanced even further by allowing for a default originator and a default messaging route to be pre-saved, thereby reducing the values required to just recipients' numbers and the message body, e.g:

To - 079562**236, 07951292**1
Msg - Don't forget our appointment on Friday at 5pm.

These settings will be of particular use to the larger organisations as less instruction needs to be given to staff and the originator can be pre-set through the main account.

It is also worth noting that the default settings can be over-ridden by including them within the Email-to-SMS message body.
