Test your setting with the SMS test console
To verify that your settings are correct it’s time to make a test.
Scroll down the page and go to “SMS test console”.
Enter you mobile number without the country code and digit a test message. Then click on “Update Settings” button.
CORRECT SETTINGS
If everything is ok you will receive a text on your mobile and you’ll see this message on top of the current settings page.
