Send a Test Message in Aerialink v5

The “Send Message” tool allows users to send an outbound SMS or MMS from an Aerialink number provisioned to their account to a valid destination number.
Note: Including the word “Test” or the name of a Mobile Network Operator (e.g. “AT&T,” “T-Mobile,” etc) in your message content is not advised and is likely to result in blocking by the carriers.

To send a test message:

1. Enter an Aerialink number on your account in the “From” field.
2. In the “To” field, enter a valid destination number.
3. If you wish to request DLR (delivery receipt), check the “Request delivery receipt” box. Note that these are given by carriers as a courtesy and, while often returned, are not guaranteed.
4. The “Message” field should contain the SMS or MMS text content.
5. Click “Send.”
6. If sent successfully, the result indicator, “Message Sent” will appear, along with a direct GUID link to the message-in-progress, which you can view in the Activity Report.
