Tarification SMS et FAQ

What do I need to send SMSs?

SMS Text Messaging is an In-App Purchase (IAP) service that requires prepaid credits to work.

How many types of SMSs are there?

There are 2 types: GSM7 and UNICODE.

GSM7 is the standard format, with a limit of 160 characters per message, that includes the following characters:

GSM7 characters available in Odoo SMS Marketing.

UNICODE is the format applied if a special character, that is not in the GSM7 list, is used. Limit per SMS: 70 characters.

Note

For GSM7 SMS the size limit is 160 characters, and for Unicode is 70. Above these limits, the content is divided into a multi-part message and the limit of characters is lowered to 153 for GSM7 and to 67 for Unicode. Then, in real-time, the system displays the number of SMS mailings the message represents.

How much does it cost to send an SMS?

The price of an SMS depends on the destination and the length (number of characters) of the message. To see the price per country, please consult: Odoo SMS - FAQ.

The number of SMSs a message represents will always be available in the database.

More common questions

  1. Est-ce que mes crédits expirent-ils?
    No, credits do not expire.
  2. Puis-je envoyer un SMS vers un numéro (qui n’est pas un mobile) parce que je vois l’icône devant le champ “téléphone”?
    Uniquement si ce numéro de téléphone prend en charge les SMS (par ex. les téléphones SIP).
  3. Est-ce que je reçois une facture pour acheter mes crédits?
    Oui.
  4. Can the recipient answer me?
    Non, il est impossible de répondre à un SMS.
  5. What happens if I send multiple SMSs at once, but I don’t have enough credits to send them all?
    Multiple SMS communications at once at are counted as a single transaction, so no SMSs will be sent until there are enough credits to send them all.
  6. Ai-je un historique des SMS envoyés?
    A history of sent SMSs, along with all pertinent information related to its sent contacts (and the message itself), can be found in the Sent column of the main SMS Marketing dashboard (while in Kanban view).

  9. Que se passe-t-il si j’envoie un SMS à un numéro payant (par ex.: un concours pour gagner un ticket pour un festival)?
