Esendex provider
For the purpose of sending and receiving SMS messages MedITEX uses the services of Esendex provider. User account needs to be created and this can be done on the <a href="http://www.esendex.com">Esendex website</a>.
Parameters which determine each user account (account credentials) are:
- Username: An email address used in the process of user account creation.
- Password: A password assigned to a user via Confirmation email. It can be changed afterwards.
- Account reference: An array of characters beginning with "EX" which is also assigned to a user via Confirmation email.
Once user account is created, it is possible:
- to send 20 SMS messages for free
- to purchase a package od SMS messages according to your needs
- to configure a Virtual Mobile Number which will be used for receiving messages
After first purchase it is also possible to assign a name to your user account (for example, the name of a clinic) which will be displayed as a Sender name of a message.
