Text Message Delivery Configuration

When the General>Text Message Handling application function is set to Y, select the Delivery button to open the Text Message Delivery Configuration screen and configure the delivery method for the Text message. For delivery configuration details, contact your Text Delivery Provider or refer to the provider’s user documentation. For this feature to work, ensure the information is entered correctly.
