Get your SMS integration to work smarter with flexible add-ons
Engage in 2-way text conversations, embed contact numbers, mini-links or discount codes, use a short code for replies and opt-outs, or make your texts interactive by inserting words or characters for your customers to respond to. The possibilities are endless!
Reply Numbers
Enable your customers to reply back straight to your messages, by assigning a dedicated reply number as the sender ID to outgoing text. A monthly rental charge per reply number applies.
Custom Code
We are able to write and develop scripts or additional functions to let you get the most of your SMS integration. Although this is an additional cost, it normally isn't as much as you may think
Keywords
Create GDPR compliant opt-in's by asking your customers to reply back with a keyword to your assigned reply number. Create new address book groups from these received replies.
HLR lookup
Have an older database and not sure if some of the numbers are still valid? Rather than send a campaign and risk a percentage failing, we have paid service that checks if numbers are still active
Short-codes
Rent short-code or shared short-code numbers and use them as sender IDs or to capture inbound texts. Memorable at only 5, 6 or 8 numbers long, these are ideal for printed adverts
Automated processes
For example, improve your customer journey by acknowledging receipt of your customers message by sending a fully automated reply SMS. Reaffirm your contact details and allow them to reply back.
Email forwarding
Nominate an email address, or two and our system can forward all replies received to your account as an email. It can even attach the original outbound message at the bottom of the email.
SMPP connection
Standing for Short Message Peer-to-Peer, send up to 600 messages per second via our secure and direct SMPP 3.4 connection. This can be direct to the network or a via tier-1 aggregator
Mini-URL generator
For those of you that want to include a web-link in your message, we have a facility that can create mini-url links on your behalf. Links created this way are trackable and offer helpful additional analytics.
QR code creation
We can create bespoke QR codes, that can be used in your print or online advertising, allowing users to subscribe to your services by simply scanning a code with their camera phone
