How to adapt a template
- Keep your name in it. Use your own sender ID and repeat the business name in the text.
- Check the length after editing. A longer shop name or amount can push a message into a second part. The SMS character counter shows the count as you type.
- Type it, do not paste it from a document. Curly quotes and long dashes from word processors turn an English message into Unicode and halve the space.
- Send yourself a test first. One message to your own phone catches most mistakes.
