Field	Description
Package Name	The name of the SMS package.
Service Provider	The name of the SMS service provider (for example, myschool SMS).
Message Limit	The total number of messages that can be sent. If left blank, the package is treated as Unlimited.
Valid Till	The package validity date. After this date, messages cannot be sent. If left blank, the package has Lifetime validity.
Character Limit	The number of characters that make up one message. If left blank, 160 characters is used. Some providers add a few characters of their own to each message; in that case, reduce the limit accordingly.

If you enter a sender name and enable Sender name modification, the sender name can be changed when the package is assigned to a school. If you disable it, the sender name cannot be changed.
When all details are entered, click Create.
