The default message template option allows you to set a default template on all outgoing messages. For example, you might want a signature applied to all messages so you don't have to type it out every time you start drafting a new campaign. When sending an SMS message, the template will automatically load into the message content field and can be easily edited or overwritten if necessary when you're composing your message.
