      Enabling SMS Messages

      SMS Patient Survey Reminder [read more: SMS Patient Communications] - an SMS survey reminder that is sent to the mobile phone of the patient on the survey due date in addition to the email survey reminder.

      Patient Communication 6

      Data that can be pulled from your profile to the SMS message:

      • Investigator’s last name
      • Survey title
      • Link to the due survey

       

      All SMS messages in our system are coded in GSM 03.38 alphabet that sets special requirements to the message length.
        • If the message contains symbols supported by the code, the character limit is 160 characters
        • With at least one unsupported symbol, the SMS must be no more than 70 characters, otherwise it will be split into several SMS messages and will cost more

        SMS messages can be sent to 200 countries across the globe. Please review this list to see whether SMS reminders can be sent to your country. Countries marked with * require senders to meet specific requirements.
