Lyyti's mobile application / Send SMS messages

Please be aware that Lyyti is developed constantly and your view might not match 100% with the view described in this article.

This feature can be used with the following license packs: Starter, Basic, Professional, Enterprise

After creating an event in Lyyti and having sent QR codes to participants (either in their confirmation message, name badge, ticket or mobile ticket), you can read the code later on at the event venue with Lyyti's mobile application. It is free to use and can be found by searching "Lyyti" in the App Store or in Google Play store.

The application needs internet connection to download participant data from Lyyti into your mobile device. In addition, you need a Lyyti username (e-mail address and password) and at least viewing rights to the Lyyti event to which you are about to read QR codes.

One message costs 0,11 € per recipient and 160 characters count for one message. When you write an SMS, you can include 5 messages in one SMS - thus, this message would cost 0,55 € per recipient. 
The length of one text message is counted as follows:

• 0-160 characters = 1 message
• 161-306 characters = 2 messages
• 307-459 characters = 3 messages
• 460-612 characters = 4 messages
• 613-765 characters = 5 messages
