Benefits of Email to SMS

Using the email to text system does not require any special software. All you have to do is email the message you want delivered to our Email to SMS gateway and it forwards the message to the number you entered in the subject line. That’s all there is to it.

  • Saves time
    You don’t have to use any extra programs and no training is required.
  • Simple & easy
    When the recipient responds to your message via SMS, the 2-way SMS feature delivers their reply to your email inbox – the whole conversation is available at a glance in the body of the email.
  • Information at your fingertips
    It’s great for keeping track of SMS conversations. With a full record of all interactions, it’s easy to build an audit trail for future reference.

 

Because your email client plays a central role in sending and receiving SMS messages, you can use its native features to save time and improve efficiency. For example, by organizing your recipients into groups, you can easily send specific messages to certain groups – useful when doing targeted promotions.
