CONNECTsms: Your All-Canadian ZipWhip Alternative

Zip Whip Alternative

Looking for a Canadian ZipWhip Alternative?

We’re happy to introduce you to CONNECTsms, our business texting solution.

First launched in 2015, CONNECTsms is designed to enable fast, efficient, person-to-person text message communications with your clients. It’s used by…

  • Employment agencies
  • Social service departments
  • Private businesses
  • Municipalities.
  • Dentists
  • Health clubs and spas

…all across Canada (a partial list of clients can be found here).

With a minimal learning curve and focus on ease of use, transitioning to CONNECTsms from ZipWhip or Text Magic is a breeze. And, if you’re new to business texting altogether, you’ll be relieved by how easy it all is.

Best of all, because the service is cloud-based, there’s no impact on your local systems or your IT department. All you need is a modern browser and an Internet connection to access the service.
