Bulk SMS is an effective tool for reaching out to customers, employees, or any large group instantly. It's ideal for promotional campaigns, urgent alerts, and general communication, offering high open rates, immediate delivery, and excellent response rates.
SMS Sender IDs
SMS Sender IDs are the names or numbers that are displayed on the recipient's phone when they receive an SMS message. They identify the sender and can be customized to reflect your brand or business name.
- Brand Recognition — Your business name appears as the sender, building trust with recipients.
- Higher Open Rates — Messages from a recognized sender ID are more likely to be read.
- Easy Setup — Request your custom sender ID during onboarding and we'll handle the rest.
2-Way SMS Shortcodes
SMS shortcodes are 5-6 digit numbers used to send and receive SMS messages with mobile subscribers. They facilitate interactions between businesses and customers such as conducting surveys, competitions, and opt-ins. Shortcodes enable 2-way communication with your customers.
- Two-Way Communication — Customers can reply and interact with your business via SMS.
- Easy to Remember — Short, memorable numbers make it simple for customers to engage.
- Automated Responses — Set up auto-replies for keywords to run campaigns seamlessly.
