3: Once you click on the pencil icon a new window will pop up to edit the device as shown in the below screenshot.

• Device name: You can change the device name.

• Receive SMS: Receive SMS is enabled by default. You can disable it if you don't want to receive the SMS within the SMSrush dashboard.

• Random Sending Interval: You can also control the sending speed through random sending intervals and it's useful to protect yourself from getting blocked by the carrier/network providing company. By default, it is on and the minimum time in seconds is 5 and the maximum is 10. This means after sending one message the next message will be sent after 5-10 seconds. You can either disable it or change the value it's up to you. If you're using multiple devices then you have to set it for each device separately.

• Sending Limit: You can also enable the daily sending limit for each device if you want to send a certain number of messages from each device every day or every month. Once that limit is reached SMS will not be sent from that device. By default this feature is disabled you can enable it if you want to control the sending limit.
