Send SMS Message Using Clickatell API - Part 3
The next part of the tutorial is the Interface to type your SMS Message. I have designed a simple interface that you can use. You can also design one yourself; and in designing one, just make sure you have the the following three fields
- “to”
- “from”
- “Message”
“to”
This is the field where you type in the RECIPIENT NUMBER. Make sure it is in an international format. eg. +233244232323 or +16364545555
“from”
This is the field where you type in the either YOUR NUMBER or YOUR NAME. If you type your name, make sure you dont leave spaces.
“message”
This is the field where you type your MESSAGE. Clickatell sets the default message length to 160 characters, but you can increase it to any number you want on your Clickatell Control Panel.
