Outbound SMS Text Messages

SMS for Individuals

Sending SMS messages through our control panel interfaces can prove to be a easier and more cost effective way compared to using your mobile. Per SMS costs can be as low as 5 pence including free delivery reports, and allow you to send messages appearing as if they were sent from your mobile phone. Any replies are then delivered to your mobile.

SMS for Small Business

Compared to adverts or mail shots SMS text messages can be a very attractive way to send short targeted messages to an audience. Within minutes your message is ready to send, and seconds later will be delivered to your customers. Messages can appear as your company name (eg ICUK) and can be upto 160 characters in length.

SMS for Large Enterprise

If you deal with large volumes of clients, whereby service downtime just isn't an option, then SMS notifications can be the ideal way to deal with emergency situations. Your message can be delivered to thousands of people within seconds avoiding a flood of phone calls and emails about an issue you are currently dealing with. Such swift actions to notify customers of something you are aware of can reduce the burden on support systems the issue in hand has already caused.

Multiple Originator Names

Users of our SMS solutions can benefit from the ability of sending messages branded with their own name. For example a company with the name of Dentist Limited could have messages appearing on their clients phone with the sender name of DENTIST upto a maximum of 11 characters.

Multiple Originator Numbers

Should you own or manage multiple phones we provide you with the ability to send messages appearing as that that originating phone's number. For example, if your phone number is 0788191919 our platform will allow you to send messages from our control panel appearing as if it were sent by that phone. Customers / friends receiving messages from you will see the originator name as 0788191919 (or how they list you in their phonebook), and can reply in the normal way back to your phone.

IMPORTANT: This solution is backed up by security systems to prevent misuse and fraud. Only once the number has been validated by our system, and you can demonstrate ownership of the phone, can it be used as an originator.

Control Panel

Our advanced control panel allows you to easily manage everything from your phone books, to originator names / numbers, view real-time delivery reports, send SMS messages and even purchase additional credits.

Schedule Sending (date & time)

You can opt to pick when to send your messages. This can be useful for targeted marketing (eg just before a program starts), or can be as simple as appointment reminders (eg this is confirmation that your table is booked for 8pm on Tuesday 24th).

Re-Schedule

If plans change then we give you the flexibility to re-schedule when the message is sent, or if you simply wish to cancel. Our message logs clearly show all messages that are queued.

Single Entry

You can enter customers into your phonebook one-by-one. As well as entering the customers name and mobile / landline number, you can also enter their email address for your own records and reference.

Multiple Entries

Simply enter customers details in CSV format allowing you to enter 1000's of numbers within seconds.

Multiple Address Books

To aid organisation we give all users the ability to setup as many address books as required. This allow you to separate your friends from your customers for example. When sending messages we have provided slick integration into the phone book to allow you to very quickly enter or remove recipient numbers via an AJAX interface.
