Smart SMS functionality

160 characters

The magic number for a single SMS message! To ensure compatibility across all mobile networks and devices, SMS messages are limited to 160 characters, including spaces. It's best to keep messages concise for optimal deliverability and readability.

Concatenation

160 characters is not a limitation. SMS concatenation allows longer messages to be split into multiple parts (usually 153 characters each) and recombines them on the recipient's phone as a single message, enabling messages over 160 characters to be sent as one.

2-way SMS

Conversational messaging with SMS. Two-way SMS allows businesses to send and receive text messages, enabling real-time customer interactions and feedback.

Keywords

Keywords are specific words or phrases that customers text to a short code or long number to opt in/out to receive messages or trigger specific actions, such as "START" or "STOP".

Personalisation

Use customer data, like names or purchase history, to create tailored messages for a more engaging experience. Create customised variables or use predefined variables to personalise your messages, e.g., [First name], [Order number] or [Time].

Sender ID(s)

Create custom alphanumerical sender IDs or number based sender IDs like short code or long code.

Opt in/out

Customers can subscribe (opt-in) to receive messages and can opt-out at any time by texting a specific keyword, like "STOP." Opt-in is essential for marketing messages under GDPR regulations. Customers must give explicit consent to receive messages and have a clear and simple way to opt-out.

URL links (+ landing page)

Include URL links in SMS messages to direct customers to landing pages, enhancing engagement and providing more information.

Auto reply

Auto reply automatically sends a pre-set response to customers after they send a message or keyword to your service, ensuring instant engagement.

Delivery receipts

Delivery receipts confirm whether an SMS message was successfully delivered to the recipient’s mobile device.

Number lookup

Identify the owner of a phone number to ensure proper targeting and avoid invalid numbers. The service includes number tracking according to the E164 standard, which automatically tracks fixed network numbers. It also supports white-listing and black-listing, e.g., numbers, number series, and countries.

No internet required

SMS works over cellular networks, so it does not require an internet connection, making it reliable for all mobile users. Perfect for reaching customers anywhere with cell service.

Scheduled sendings

Schedule SMS messages to be sent at a specific date and time, ensuring timely communication with your recipients.

Bulk or individual SMS

Send large volumes of targeted mass SMS to your audiences or send SMS to individual recipients from your address book.

Statistics and reports

Reports with statistics can be generated automatically based on your needs at daily, weekly or monthly intervals. Reports show delivery statistics and traffic usage by your recipients, for example, open and read rates.

Security

Security required to validate the sender's identity is provided through WS-security, and the connection to the gateway is through HTTPS.

Flash SMS

Flash SMS displays directly on the recipient's screen without needing to be opened, ensuring urgent messages are seen immediately.

Expire time

SMS messages can be set to expire after a certain period, ensuring time-sensitive information is not received late.
