# How do I set up different frequency schedules?

**[Recurring SMS](https://www.smsgatewaycenter.com/blog/kb/what-is-recurring-sms-and-how-do-i-get-started/)** offers flexible frequency options similar to iPhone reminders:

**Interval + Unit System:**

- **Interval:** A number between 1-999
- **Unit:** Days, Weeks, Months, or Years

**Common Examples:**

| Frequency Needed | Interval | Unit |
| --- | --- | --- |
| Daily | 1 | Days |
| Every 3 Days | 3 | Days |
| Weekly | 7 Days OR 1 | Week |
| Fortnightly | 14 Days OR 2 | Weeks |
| Monthly | 1 | Month |
| Quarterly | 3 | Months |
| Half-Yearly | 6 | Months |
| Yearly | 1 | Year |
| Every 10 Days | 10 | Days |

**Tips:**

- Choose the unit that makes the most sense for your campaign
- For "Every 2 Weeks", you can use either "14 Days" or "2 Weeks"
- For annual campaigns (birthdays, renewals), use "1 Year"
