Boost Sales and Revenue with Mass Texting!

Yes. Pay just $19.99/month and add messaging credits as you need them. No monthy top ups. 

SMS stands for “simple text service” and refers to plain text messages.

MMS stands for “multimedia messaging service” and includes a combination of image and text, as featured earlier on this page.

SMS are measured in 160 character segments, with multi-segment messages requiring 7 characters per segment for concatenation.

MMS allows for up to 1600 characters of text (although we would never suggest you send text messages that long). 

It really depends on two things…

1. The nature of your business.
2. The length of the messages you plan on sending.

If you’re planning on sending short text messages for “informational” purposes (service outages, COVID updates, etc.), SMS is fine.

When it comes to promotional content though, MMS is the king of the castle.

Using images boosts the impact of your promotional campaigns (human beings are “visual” creatures) making them easier to scan resulting in better click throughs and a higher return on investment (ROI).

In addition, MMS includes 1600 characters which means a lot of flexibility for crafting your message.

While we can’t speak for your business, almost all our clients who use our service to send promotional messages use MMS.

Yes.

Your account can be set up as a “hybrid” account, allowing you to toggle between SMS and MMS at any time.

If your business has a standard land line (not a VOIP service or cell phone) not already provisioned for SMS, then the short answer is yes.

However, we only recommend this for US businesses.

In Canada, there is no way to register a standard 10 digit long code (i.e., phone number) for mass texting, which means there’s a good chance your messages will end up being blocked or filtered.

In the US standard phone numbers can be registered for mass texting campaigns, so it’s perfectly acceptable to do so.

If you want to use your US business’ landline number for your messaging, then we will need to register it for bulk messaging.

This requires a one time fee and monthly campaign fee (the amount of which depends on your message volume and the type of messages you send. Prices start at under $2/month).

Please note that these fees are levied by our partners – they are not our fees, and we do not receive any of the funds. 

To avoid these fees, we recommend sending your messages over a special toll free number.
