2. USER GUIDE

2.1 Some tips on contact names:

- Only English letters, spaces and numbers can be used for contact names, Alexa will not understand any other special characters
- Alexa hears numbers as numbers, so when you are asking for "John one", Alexa will be looking for "John 1" in your contact list
- Use names that are easy to recognize for Alexa, try it out and see if Alexa can find the name you created, if not - don't be disappointed, just try to come up with a simpler name.
- Phone number should be in international format with '+' in front of the country code as in the placeholder example

3. BALANCE

Unfortunately sending SMS worldwide without any geo-restrictions is not free so we incur a small transaction charge per SMS message. Currently default balance on registration with the service is 5 SMS, further SMS bundles can be purchased using "Top Up" web form on the https://quick-text.com website.
