More on Apple News and Music and SMS
About Apple News and Music
Apple Music is a subscription-based music streaming service developed by Apple Inc. It offers users access to a vast catalog of music, as well as playlists, radio shows, and original content. Subscribers can also download songs for offline listening and access their music across multiple devices using their Apple ID.
About SMS
Get important notifications on your phone via SMS. This service has a cap of 100 SMS messages per month for users in the US and Canada and 10 per month for those outside of North America. To avoid having Applets paused until the next month if you hit the limit, try the Notifications service. Some carriers outside of the US are not supported yet (learn more here). Please note: Messages sent must adhere to IFTTT's message guidelines.
