How to send SMS emails to the modem:
a.
Place the phone number of the modem followed by”@msg.iridium.com” in the destination
email address line.
b.
The sender’s email address will be included in the user data field of the SMS message
automatically. It will be placed before the user’s message starts and any data in the subject
line will be ignored. To exclude the sender’s email address from the SMS message, place
“NO” in the subject line.
c.
Enter the actual message in the text field. The maximum length of the user data of the SMS
message is 160. Please note that the length of the user data includes the length of the
sender’s email address plus 1 for a space unless “NO” is placed in the subject line.
d.
Send.
Note: When sending SMS emails to the modem by email account, some characters in the
user data field of the SMS message may arrive differently in the modem. This happens
because most email servers use standard ASCII characters (ISO-8859-1 decimal codes)
while SMS uses another 7-bit alphabet format. Therefore, some of the SMS characters
might not be supported by the email server or some of the ASCII characters might not be
supported by SMS.
