Why is it called an Order?
An order is the term used to refer to a request for a AT&T Gloabl Smart Messaging message to be sent from the web portal. As a message can be set to be sent to multiple destinations (thus generating multiple messages from one single request), the term order is used to differentiate the request from the actual messages themselves. This distinction allows more granular reporting and better control over remote wiping.
