It is important to carefully evaluate all the factors that influence your campaign effectiveness. The SMS providers that offer insanely low prices often fall short on most of these factors – in fact, their low pricing reflects a lack of investment in SMS gateway infrastructure, telecom partnerships, product features, and customer support.

Find out how Textlocal fares in multiple important aspects that affect SMS returns.

Customized SMS Campaigns

For better engagement and response rates

With generic SMS providers

Limited functionality and poorly designed interfaces make it difficult to go beyond sending plain SMS texts. Simple features such as inserting custom fields, or providing an opt-out path are often missing or need additional plugins.

Advanced Analytics

For measuring SMS campaign effectiveness

With generic SMS providers

Sending SMS campaigns is like shooting in the dark. You get no data or insights into how your customers are engaging with your campaigns. Finetuning your message content or finding the right time to send campaigns remains a guess work without the right engagement data!

Powerful, Scalable and Secure SMS APIs

For quicker and easier integrations

With generic SMS providers

APIs are often limited to sending plain-text SMS and balance checks. Integrating other features like receiving SMS is either not possible or may incur significant development costs. Some of the providers may even charge you extra for generating API keys and accessing their documentation.

Multiple Operator Connectivity

For faster deliveries and redundancy

With generic SMS providers

Connected to inferior low-cost routes via a rudimentary gateway, you may frequently observe delayed or missed deliveries, implying bad customer experience and lost transactions!

Robust Technology Infrastructure

For superior uptime, ultra-low latencies and seamless scalability

With generic SMS providers

Many SMS providers do not invest in building and maintaining a resilient backend infrastructure, resulting in frequent downtimes. An unscheduled downtime can mean lost business or worse, disgruntled customers!

Enterprise Ready

For enterprise-grade features, robust infrastructure and pricing that scale as your business grows

With generic SMS providers

Most often lack enterprise features like multi-user roles, tiered account structure, lockable templates and enhanced SLAs.

One Stop Shop For All SMS Needs

Save costs, time and effort in working with multiple products and services

With generic SMS providers

Limited to sending SMS. Receive SMS feature is either missing or when available, providers often take time to procure longcodes. Features like creating mobile-friendly surveys and tickets, and sending them via SMS are non-existent, forcing you to integrate other non-SMS products.

Fanatic Customer Support

For quicker resolutions and expert recommendations to get maximum returns
