  6. Other User's Preference
    1. SMS Header & Footer - If you put in text (not more than 40 characters) here, all your outgoing SMS will start with or end with the text you've put in. This is useful if you permanently need to have some "prefix" or append some content to all your SMS message
    2. Sender ID - as RapidSMS allows you to mask your SenderID when you send out SMS, you can put in your company's name e.g. InspireTech
      Note that your Sender ID cannot exceed 11 characters and should not contain symbol
    3. Short Code - this is your special Keyword. If someone sends in SMS to the system starting with this code, the SMS will appear on your inbox. Unless you have a special need for such feature, it is usually turned off. You can consult our technical team if you need further clarifications on this.
    4. Conversation View - This is the number of conversation with the same contact that you want to display in your conversation view. It is recommended that the conversation view should not exceed 100 for better usage performance
    5. Conversation contacts - When you view the Recent Conversation, the default will show you 20 conversation you had with "20" different numbers. If you change this, it'll show you the number of contacts you want to display in your conversation view. For optimal performance, please do not increase the conversation contacts to more than 100.
  7. If you want to change your current password click on the Change Password Button. Remember: changing password will log the current session out.
