 This is the userguide for the current version of the Messaging module
 
 == What Hardware do I need to send SMS? ==
+If using an online gateway, then you don't need any hardware other than the network card :)
+
+If you wish to be able to send messages without an Internet connection then you need a comaptible device such as one from the following.
+
 Hardware compatibility databases:
  * http://wiki.gnokii.org/index.php/Config
  * http://cihar.com/gammu/phonedb/
  * http://www.frontlinesms.com/resources/requirements/
+
+== How do I use it? ==
+1st you need to decide whether you will be using the online gateway or the local modem.
+
+This is configured by the Administrator in the Global message Settings.
+
+The Gateway or Modem details are configured via their own panels.

+
+== How does it work? ==
+Compose a new message. The autocomplete will find either Persons or Groups.
+
+Contact numbers from Persons have non-numeric characters stripped & then a '+' is prefixed when using a local modem.
+
+For gateway usage, a default Country Code is added to numbers which start with 0.
