What is an SMS broadcast?
What is an SMS broadcast?
An SMS broadcast is like using BCC in an email – one message to many recipients. Each person receives your text but doesn't see any of the group details. And, if you use a dedicated number, your contacts can reply.
Businesses use SMS broadcasts to quickly and reliably inform customers of updates, or send marketing messages. It’s a type of bulk SMS messaging.
Why Use an SMS Broadcast Service?
Text messaging is a very effective way to reach people, quickly and easily. With unmatched open rates of 98%, you know that your message will be seen.
