Compose and send SMS text messages

If you prefer to send SMS messages online rather than using your smartphone, you can use eclipso SMS.

To use the SMS service, you must enter and verify your mobile phone number in your contact details.

• Go to the Settings menu > Account | Contact Details.
• First, select the country using the country code or the national flag. In the adjacent field, enter your current mobile phone number without the leading "0" (e.g., 160123456789) and save the information by clicking [ OK ].
• You will receive a verification code at the number you provided within a few moments.
• Once you have received the verification code via SMS, go to the SMS menu and follow the instructions.
• Once the verification code has been successfully confirmed and your account has a balance (credits), you can use the SMS function.

SMS services are fee-based. You must top up your account with credit before you can send SMS messages. The cost of an SMS depends on the destination country. This ensures you always maintain full control over costs.

How do I pay for sending SMS / How do I top up my credit?

Payment is simple and secure using eclipso credits; you must top up your account with credits before sending SMS messages. Topping up your eclipso account is safe, fast, and easy, as we do not store any bank details. Available payment methods include PayPal, credit card, direct debit, and prepayment. If paying in advance, the credit is added to your account as soon as the payment has been received.
