Sending text messages

You create and send the actual text message by selecting the option for sending a sticky. You can do this in the following ways:

1. You can select New sticky from the personal tool list (top row of buttons).

You must first add the participants:

Here you can look for the recipients one by one or select a group where the participant(s) is/are selected:

2. Alternatively, you can look for one or more recipients via Search/Contacts:

3. Otherwise, you can select recipients from the participant list in a room:

You must then type your message. You will find the Send text message button at the bottom of the screen:

After you have clicked on Send text message the following screen appears:

The following information is displayed in it:

1. The SMS account which is debited and the number of messages the account has left.
2. The message (a new message is created every time the number of characters exceeds 160).
3. You can choose whether you also want to send a copy of the text message as a sticky (note).
4. Not all the recipients of the message have specified their mobile number. They can receive the message as a sticky instead.
5. More recipients can be added by entering their mobile numbers in this field. A comma is used as a separator.

Note: The students cannot answer a text message from Fronter.

Further details are described in a separate guide.
