== SMS settings ==

== SMS notes ==

`SMS` is used for:

* sending private messages to a player
* replying to the last private message
* sending quick private messages through `CITPhone`
* receiving offline messages after logging in

If the target player is online:

* they see the message right away

If the target player is offline:

* they receive it when they log in

== How to send an SMS ==

To send a private message, use:

<code>/sms [player name] [message]</code>

This sends a direct private message to the selected player.

== How to reply ==

To reply to the last SMS conversation, use:

<code>/re [message]</code>

This is the reply command for private messages.

== Online and offline SMS ==

SMS works for both online and offline players.

=== Online player ===

If the player is online:

* they receive the message immediately

=== Offline player ===

If the player is offline:

* the message is stored
* they receive it when they log in

Offline SMS messages appear in:

* <code>/notifications</code>

== Quick SMS ==

`CITPhone` includes a quick way to use SMS.

To send a quick private message:

* open `CITPhone`
* open the `Quick SMS` app

You can also use:

* <code>/re [message]</code>

for a quick reply

== SMS in CIT Messenger ==

`CIT Messenger` also works with private messaging.

To open it:

* press <code>F10</code>
* or use <code>/messenger</code>

From there, you can:

* chat with players
* set a contact as your default <code>/re</code> target

== Default reply target ==

You can set a default reply target in `CIT Messenger`.

To do that:

* open `CIT Messenger`
* select the contact
* use `Set this contact as default /re`

This changes who <code>/re</code> replies to by default.

== SMS chat tab ==

The `J` [[Chat Interface|chat interface]] includes an:

* `SMS` tab

If you are missing SMS chat messages:

* press <code>J</code>
* open the `SMS` tab
* make sure `Show in chatbox` is enabled

== SMS alerts ==

SMS alerts can be managed in the [[settings]].

To manage them:

* open <code>/settings</code>
* go to `SMS & Friends`

This section controls:

* SMS alerts
* friend login notifications
* friend logout notifications

== Commands ==

<div class="cit-table-scroll">

== SMS details ==

* SMS is the direct private messaging system in CIT.
* Offline messages are delivered when the target player logs in.
* `Quick SMS` in `CITPhone` is one of the supported private messaging paths.
* `CIT Messenger` can set your default <code>/re</code> target.


== Related notes ==

* Players can SMS only <code>4</code> players outside friends, group, alliance, and squad mates per <code>5</code> minutes.
* The SMS anti spam limit is <code>45</code> messages per <code>2</code> minutes.



== Private messages ==

Use `/sms <player> <message>` to send a private message. SMS is the CIT equivalent of a private whisper.

== Direct messages ==

CIT does not use <code>/pm</code> or <code>/dm</code> for private messages. Use <code>/sms <partial name>, <message></code>, reply with <code>/re <message></code>, or open CIT Messenger with <code>F10</code>. In CIT, <code>DM</code> usually means Duties Manager or the DM Area.


== Sending one message to several players ==

Open `CITPhone > Quick SMS`, enter one or more player names separated by commas, enter the message, and send it. This sends the same message to every listed player.

`/re <message>` is different because it replies only to the most recent SMS conversation.
