Why should I send SMS via the computer instead of the mobile phone?

The ability to send SMS via the computer turns your computer and browser into a communication center. This makes managing contacts and conversations easier while giving you more control over your messages.

Effective Communication

For businesses, time is money and every savings is valuable. Managing SMS sending via the computer allows you to communicate directly with customers, including sending reminders and support without hassle. A virtual mobile number also enables two-way communication and conversations with customers or members.

Fast and Effective contact

SMS mailings offer speed, with direct delivery to the customer for immediate response. It is ideal for important messages such as meeting reminders or booking confirmations.
