 Adding SMS gateway

This article explains how to activate an SMS gateway so the platform can send sms messages from your account.

Sms messages can be used to notify users of alerts they have configured
(e.g. John has exceeded the road speed limit of 50 kph by 30 kph)

You can also use sms messages to configure tracking devices
(note: certain countries/sms providers append unsubscribe text to the end of the sms message which stops commands being applied as the tracker does not recognise the commands, therefore we suggest using GPRS commands where possible)
