Adding and editing a SMS Direct Action
SMS direct messages are similar to SMS messages, except a phone line is not required.
Instead, messages are sent directly to a cell phone, or other texting capable device, via a GSM
modem. If the receiving phone is not active or is out of range when a SMS message is sent,
messages are received when the phone is turned on. SMS messages are listed in the WhatsUp
Gold Action log.
