Cloos: fix typo

SMS messages are sent using:
* SIP SIMPLE messages when the destination is a phone registered with Enswitch.
* A custom script for external destinations.

Inbound SMS to the Enswitch system is not supported.

The custom script:
* Must be customised for each provider to match the protocol they use
* Is located at: <code>/usr/local/sbin/enswitch_message_out</code>
* Must be on the same machines as enswitch_sipd.

Here is an [[SMS_Send_Script_Example|example]] enswitch_message_out script to send requests via HTTP.

Besides customising this script, you need to:
* In System -> Configuration set "Enable messaging" to Yes.
* Restart enswitch_sipd.
* In System -> Roles set "Actions » Send a message" to Yes for desired roles.
* In each Peer's outbound costs define the "Cost to send a message".
* In each Route define the "Peer for messages".
* In each Rate plan set:
** Relevant fields in "Default markups" and "Included in rate plan".
** Features -> "Send SMS messages".
** Outbound call cost exceptions -> "Cost to send message".
We recommend your configuration is thoroughly tested prior to making it available to users.
