### Email to SMS FAQs
#### Is there a character limit when sending SMS via email?
SMS character limits and message parts still apply when sending SMS via email. If your SMS message is over 160 characters in length, additional charges will be applied. Please see [SMS Character Limits](https://support.notifyre.com/sms/sms-character-limits?hsLang=en) for more information.
#### Can I use personalisation fields when sending SMS from email?
Yes, you can use [personalisation fields](https://support.notifyre.com/sms-personalisation-fields?hsLang=en) when sending SMS via Email to SMS with Notifyre. Simply include the relevant personalisation tokens (example, First Name, Last Name or custom fields) in your email message body. When the SMS is delivered, Notifyre will automatically merge the corresponding contact data. Just make sure the contact's details have been filled out in your Notifyre address book, otherwise, the space will appear blank in the message.
#### Can I send emojis and Unicode characters when using Email to SMS?
Yes, you can include [emojis and Unicode](https://support.notifyre.com/sms-unicode-emojis?hsLang=en) characters when sending SMS via Email to SMS with Notifyre. Just keep in mind that using Unicode characters, including emojis, may increase the SMS parts used and the total cost. [Learn more about emojis and Unicode](https://support.notifyre.com/sms-unicode-emojis?hsLang=en)
#### What happens if the email format is incorrect?
If your email is not sent in the correct format or from an authorised email address, it will fail to send. Always double-check the mobile number format and ensure your email has been authorized in your Notifyre settings.
#### Can I receive SMS replies in my email inbox?
Yes. You can configure your Notifyre account to forward SMS replies directly to your email inbox. Simply enable Reply Notifications under **SMS Notifications Settings** and turn on SMS reply email notifications. This makes it easy to manage two-way conversations without leaving your inbox.
#### How do I know if my SMS sent via email was successfully delivered?
You can track the delivery status of your SMS messages in your Notifyre account. Go to SMS Activity to view a full log of messages sent via email, including timestamps, recipient details, and the delivery statuses. Please see [SMS Activity](https://support.notifyre.com/sms/sms-activity?hsLang=en) for more information.
#### Can I automate SMS via email from a system or application?
Yes. Many users integrate email to SMS with CRMs, helpdesks, and other systems by configuring automated emails to be sent in the correct format to Notifyre’s SMS gateway.
#### What is 10DLC, and why do I need it to send SMS via email in the US?
If you're sending SMS via email to US mobile numbers, you'll need a registered [10DLC](https://support.notifyre.com/what-is-10dlc?hsLang=en) (10-digit long code) number. This is a requirement from US mobile carriers to ensure your messages are compliant, trustworthy, and successfully delivered.
To get started, complete your [10DLC registration](https://support.notifyre.com/how-to-register-your-brand?hsLang=en) and purchase a virtual SMS number in your Notifyre account. Once set up, you can begin sending SMS via email using that number.
